Empress dowager, the queen sighed

What is a beauty trick?

Pei Yao thought about it many times, and added another one today: bear the burden of humiliation.

Pei Yao is a very good painter. When she was young, she scribbled and drew on the ground. Later, when she went down the mountain, she met a calligraphy and painting seller.Most of the calligraphy and paintings are fakes, which she can tell at a glance, and she even secretly copied them herself.

Once when she really ran out of money, she promised a stall owner to copy calligraphy and paintings to sell for money, but just after she sold a painting, her master found out, and a wooden stick made her run all over the mountains and plains.

The lesson is too profound.

Pei Yao pulled down the neckline to make room, and held the pen with her left hand. The Queen Mother was surprised, "You can use both hands?"

"You painted plum blossoms on the right side, so I have to use my left hand. Although it's not as good as my right hand, I can barely paint." Pei Yao started painting in front of the bronze mirror.

Just a small person, lying flat under the flowers, she drew a red line around the waist of the little person, and closed the pen.

Simple and explicit.

Because of this, Pei Yao also has a great ideal: sooner or later, she will also make a picture of a beauty lying on the empress dowager's collarbone, no, on her chest.

It's lying down!

The queen mother was very satisfied, "The Ai family will not care about the daily affairs with you, and the Ai family sent a sword to the general in your name."

It is worthwhile to exchange a painting for a sword.

Pei Yao did not refuse. She would not pay any more attention to the Pei family. She put down the brush, walked up to the Empress Dowager, leaned over and stared at the Empress Dowager: "How about I draw a picture for you?"

"The queen wants to take advantage of Ai's family again?"

The sky gradually darkened, and the interior of the hall became even darker. Pei Yao's eyes were particularly bright in the darkness, and the Empress Dowager's skin was also glowing.

The empress dowager's skin bullies Frost Saixue.

"I like the Empress Dowager, I only have the Empress Dowager in my heart, how could I bully the Empress Dowager, just a picture, okay?"

"The queen took back the sword sent by Aijia, and Aijia reluctantly agreed."

Gong'e lit a lamp in the corridor, and the dim light came in.

The queen mother stood up, put her hands on the armrest, her body was tall, she was taller than Pei Yao, in an instant, there was a shadow in front of Pei Yao, covering her whole body.

Pei Yao took a step back and silently closed her mouth. She would not take the initiative to find Pei Sui.

The Empress Dowager seemed to know what Pei Yao was thinking, she didn't say anything about Pei's family, she just passed her and lit the lights in the house by herself.

"What did the queen prepare today?"

"The concubine has inquired about it, and it's all your favorite food." Pei Yao returned to normal, tidied up her clothes, brushed her fingertips over the neckline, the red plum was looming, and the villain only saw half of it, she I didn't feel shy and behaved as usual.

Gong'e brought in the queen's food box. The queen opened the food box, and there were some vegetables in it, some of which were 'vegetables' made of shredded chicken. She didn't say anything, and the queen mother didn't ask.

The two sat opposite each other, Pei Yao first picked up a piece of bamboo shoot for the Queen Mother, "You try."

The queen mother did not refuse, and ate it slowly without testing the poison.Before Pei Yao eats, someone will test the poison, but she has never seen the queen mother test the poison in advance, thinking that she has the ability to be invulnerable to all poisons, so there is no need for such trivial matters.

The two ate quietly. The queen mother ate a bowl of rice and ate half of the bamboo shoots simmered in chicken soup. It was obvious that she liked it very much.

After dinner, the palace officials came to report the matter.The Empress Dowager had a lot of things to do, she dealt with government affairs during the day, and only summoned Shang Gong when she was free at night.

"Queen, go back tonight." The queen mother said softly.

Pei Yao didn't make any effort, today's goal was reached, she left with Qingzhu's hand, and the two walked back to Jiaofang Hall.

****

The eldest prince married a side concubine, the weather was sunny and bright, and even the emperor went to preside over his son's marriage in person.

The eldest prince was his first son, and he was born with a lot of hope for him. Now, it is a beautiful thing to grow up and get married.

The emperor wore a dragon robe and took the queen with him out of the palace.

The Empress Dowager stayed in the palace alone, painting against the sunset. When it was getting dark, Ruoyun came to report: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, you want to eat."

"No need, Aijia is not hungry." The queen mother felt a little lonely in front of her eyes.

Ruoyun did not retreat immediately, but led someone to light up the lamps under the eaves. In an instant, the eyes of the Empress Dowager became much brighter.

"When will the queen come back?" The queen mother finally remembered why she was lonely today.

Ruoyun replied: "I'm afraid I have to wait until after the banquet is over, can I ask my servants to remind me?"

"Ai's family is going to sleep first." The Empress Dowager put down her pen, got up and walked into the hall.

If Ruoyun was suspicious, should he remind him or not?

The Queen Mother's attitude is confusing, but Ruoyun still asks people to inquire about the Queen's whereabouts in case the Queen Mother asks.

The eldest prince opened the mansion and set up a mansion. Because he was the first prince, the mansion was close to the palace, separated only by a wall.

It is a great honor for the emperor to come in person. The eldest prince and Mrs. Li are very happy, and even the guests who come and go are beaming, but the empress, who is just a decoration, keeps yawning.

After finally surviving the end, the emperor sat still, and she was out of breath and weak, so she simply went back to the palace by herself.

Qingzhu worried, "I'm afraid this is not good."

"Tell Your Majesty, just say that I'm tired." Pei Yao didn't wait any longer, the Emperor Dog must have his eyes on a woman, so she didn't have to wait.

The queen's guard of honor returned to the palace first.

Half an hour later, the emperor came out of the eldest prince's mansion drunkenly, followed by a woman, shy and timid, and boarded the dragon chariot with the emperor.

Yu Jia walked halfway, and suddenly a wave of assassins rushed out, and the Imperial Forest Army quickly escorted them, fighting with the assassins into a group.

The news of the emperor's assassination came back to the palace, and the Imperial Forest Army went to rescue immediately. Pei Yao, who had just arrived at the Jiaofang Hall, was stunned for a moment, Qingzhu clutched her heart, "Empress Empress, fortunately we came back first."

Pei Yao was curious, "Why did His Majesty get assassinated so well?" Did he fall in love with some incredibly beautiful woman.

Sooner or later, the emperor died of lust, and he could live longer if he was quieter.

Not to mention his empty body, he was easily caught by others. Sending a beautiful woman there could kill him.As soon as the matter of Hu Nu was over, he made a mistake.

Qingzhu couldn't tell, "I have asked someone to inquire about it, empress, do you want to go to Xuanshi Hall and wait for Your Majesty?"

"Send him to warm his couch in the middle of the night?" Pei Yao trembled, she didn't even want to see the emperor, let alone in the middle of the night.She rejected Qingzhu's proposal, "You just say that Bengong will lie down after returning."

The green bamboo agreed, and waited for the queen to rest, but she didn't dare to rest, and waited inside the palace for news from outside the palace.

Just after the child's hour, Gong'e from the Changle Palace came to send a message, "The Queen Mother also asked the Queen Mother to go to the Xuanshi Palace."

"Has Your Majesty come back?" Qingzhu asked carefully while holding Gong'e's hand.

"I'm back, the queen mother asked your mother to go quickly."

Qingzhu went back and opened the door of the palace, walked to the bed with a candlestick, and whispered to wake up the queen: "The empress, the empress."

Pei Yao turned over and replied in a daze, "I'm awake."

"The Empress Dowager asked you to go to Xuanshi Hall."

Hearing the words "Queen Mother", Pei Yao immediately woke up.

****

The imperial physician outside the Xuanshi Hall kept coming in and out, the maids filed out, and retreated one after another, the eldest prince was wearing a wedding robe, pacing back and forth nervously.

The concubines who rushed over were crying softly, Madam Li was so nervous that she couldn't stand still, she never dreamed that there would be assassins disguised as courtiers and family members sneaking into the prince's mansion.It's fine to mix in, but the emperor took a fancy to the other party and pulled him into the car to do business.

Now that I am here, I have been stabbed with a knife, and I don't know if I can be saved.

When Pei Yao came, many people knelt outside the hall, and the three or four-year-old babies were all dragged out, leaning against the concubine mother and yawning.

She couldn't bear it in her heart. The emperor made these children sick even though he was not dead. "The little princes under the age of ten are taken back to the palace by their mothers to rest. It's cold, and it's easy to have accidents if they get sick from the cold."

The queen ordered to go on, and many children got up and left. Looking around, more than half of the way, only five or six people were left kneeling.

The eldest prince got up and walked towards the queen, his eyes were stern: "Why did the empress leave early?"

"I'm tired, so I'll go back to the palace first. The First Prince is thinking why I didn't stay, why didn't I be assassinated by the assassins along with His Majesty?" Pei Yao was not stupid, the First Prince was suspicious of her.

Conscience of heaven and earth, she doesn't have this idea, the emperor is dead, she is very likely to become the empress dowager.

She really didn't want to be such a young queen mother.

The eldest prince pressed on step by step, "If the empress is here, father will not be assassinated."

"The reason is very right. If the First Prince does not marry a wife, His Majesty will not be assassinated." Pei Yao replied, looking at the First Prince's gloomy face for a while, and said coldly: "The First Prince is very suspicious. Did you pour dirty water on me?"

"Empress Empress..." Ruoyun's voice broke the confrontation between the two, and the two raised their heads. Ruoyun walked towards them slowly and saluted Pei Yao: "Empress Empress, please come in and talk."

Pei Yao glanced at the eldest prince, "The eldest prince should think about how to clear himself of suspicion."

The eldest prince was immediately discouraged.

Seeing Pei Yao entering the sleeping hall, Ruoyun led her to the window, where the Empress Dowager was looking at the moon.

Tonight the moon is particularly bright and radiant.

"Queen, do you want to be the queen mother, or go back to Pei's house?" The queen mother asked softly.

Pei Yao instantly understood that the emperor could not be rescued, and the queen mother was thinking about the candidate for a new monarch. Now, catching the assassins is a big deal, and choosing a new monarch is also very important.

She thought for a while and said, "I want to be the queen mother."

"Queen, think about it." The queen mother turned to look at the queen, "If you go back to Pei's mansion, you can marry Meng Qi, take care of your husband and teach your children, and live the simple life you want."

Meng Qi is kind, gentle-tempered, and able to live a good life.

Pei Yao walked around in place, without any hesitation or apprehension, instead she smiled, "They all said that the beauty trick failed and trapped me, isn't the Queen Mother alone?"

"Empress, I'll give you three days to decide whether to stay or not." The Empress Dowager handed her the marriage certificate in her hand, not as knowledgeable as a little girl, "This is the marriage certificate you want."

Pei Yao smiled, took it, walked to the copper branch lamp, lit it slowly, and burned it in an instant.

"I don't like Meng Qi, the marriage is void. When I entered the palace, he acted like a coward. Now he shows the marriage certificate, what kind of affectionate gesture is he?"

"Queen Mother, what do you think? If your fiancée is robbed, what would you do?"

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of the Queen Mother's lips, "The Ai family will chop him up."

Pei Yao looked at the queen mother in front of her, with the tip of her tongue against her teeth, "I don't want to go back to Pei's house, but I can go back to the nunnery."

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has passed away..." The servant fell tremblingly at the feet of the Empress Dowager, weeping.

Immediately, there were bursts of crying outside the hall.

The astonishment on Pei Yao's face slowly revealed, she subconsciously grabbed the cuff of the Queen Mother, "I want to know something."

"The emperor was not killed by the Ai family." The queen mother looked at the queen sarcastically, and the little queen thought she did it.

The tip of Pei Yao's eyes was raised, and there was a bit of softness in the wanton publicity, "The concubine wants to know the name of the queen mother."

"I forgot what it was called, but the Ai family remembers that my surname is Li." The queen mother raised her thin lips lightly, "The queen's surname is Pei, Pei is the same, it's not a good surname."

The queen mother's surname is Li, which is the same as the emperor's.Pei Yao was a little surprised, Li Nai's surname is not unusual, Pei Yao didn't think much about it, and said: "Miss Li, I'm waiting to be the queen mother."

After finishing speaking, he left Xuanshi Hall.

The eldest prince rushed into the palace first, the emperor's eyes were still open, looking at the sky, he didn't know what he was thinking before he died.

"Father, father..." the eldest prince cried, followed by Mrs. Li. She did not dare to come closer. She had been married to the emperor for more than ten years, and was disgusted and insulted by him, but she never thought that he would go away. So early.

Shen Zhaohua was so frightened that he trembled all over, put his hands on his stomach, and dared not go forward.

The other princes were called back one after another. They were all young and didn't know what happened in front of them. They followed behind their mother ignorantly.

After the eldest prince cried, he walked towards the queen mother under the window, raised his robe and knelt down, "Queen mother, please be fair to your abbot."

"You want to say that this matter is also related to the Queen?" The Queen Mother's tone was cold.

The eldest prince clenched his teeth, "Why did the empress leave the prince's mansion early?"

"Then why does Your Majesty want to favor your courtiers? Why are there assassins in your mansion? You answer these questions first, and Aijia will send someone to interrogate the queen." The queen mother turned around slowly, her eyes gloomy.

The eldest prince was speechless, but today is the day when he married his side concubine, His Majesty was assassinated outside his residence, his suspicions can't be cleared away.

The Empress Dowager didn't bother to argue with him, she lifted her foot and left, her skirt curved gracefully on the floor tiles.

There were cries in the hall one after another, Madam Mei suddenly rushed in, like a madman, pushed everyone away, screamed, and collapsed on the ground.

After finally becoming wives, now, when the emperor dies, their glory and wealth will disappear in smoke.

I don't know whether to cry for myself or for His Majesty.

The Empress Dowager was the elder, she sat on one side for a long time, listening to the cries of the concubines.

Li Xu, the stupid emperor, died, and there were so many people crying. When the last emperor died, she was the only one crying.

With the last emperor in power, Daqi was devastated, and she couldn't avoid the destruction of the country even though she tried her best. As for Li Xu, if the last emperor had the ability, the great Han would be stable.

Pity.

The queen mother got up slowly and walked out of the bedroom. The night wind was biting, the emperor had been on the throne for less than a year, and a new emperor was about to be replaced.

Three emperors in two years, really interesting.

The Empress Dowager walked out of the bedroom, stepped onto Feng Yu, and remembered something, "Tell Meng Qi to take Pei Yao away with the marriage certificate."

****

The emperor died, the court was shaken, the courtiers all entered the palace after dawn, and Pei Sui was also invited into the palace.

Pei Sui walked slowly on the palace road, the courtiers before and after were in a hurry, he seemed a bit out of place, Meng Qi came from the imperial hospital, saw him, and hurried forward.

"General Pei."

"It's Doctor Meng." Pei Sui stopped walking, and the other party looked hurried, his eyes flickering, "What's the matter?"

"The general, please take a step to speak."

Pei Sui nodded, and as Meng Qi walked towards a corner, Meng Qi said anxiously: "Just now the queen mother sent me a message, asking me to take the marriage certificate to pick up the queen and leave."

"Then you go and pick it up." Pei Sui's eyes filled with excitement.

Meng Qi was dejected, "The marriage certificate is gone."

"Physician Meng regretted it?" Pei Sui was displeased. If the empress could come back, she would remarry a daughter. It is reasonable for Meng Qi to dislike it, but he seemed to have heard that the empress never went to bed, so it was a clean white lotus. What did Meng Qi dislike? ?

"No, no, the general misunderstood." Meng Qi hurriedly explained, blushing and said: "When I came back from Jiaofang Hall that day, I put the marriage certificate in the medicine box and put it in the imperial hospital. When I opened the medicine box, the marriage letter was gone. Everything in the medicine box was there, except the marriage letter was missing. I was wondering if the Empress sent someone to take it away.”

"You put such important things in the medicine box. Have you got a brain?" Pei Sui burst out angrily, "Yumu brains, if you don't have a marriage certificate, just make another one."

The marriage letter was written by him, and his handwriting was unmistakable.

Meng Qi hesitated: "If the queen mother finds out, the responsibility will be great."

"Has the Queen Mother seen the marriage letter?" Pei Sui sighed, young people don't know how to be flexible, and such an easy thing can be messed up.

Meng Qi was still unhappy, bowed to Pei Sui, and left lonely.

Pei Sui enters the palace.

The emperor's coffin was placed in the bedroom, and everyone in the palace wore white clothes. Even the queen mother had a white bead flower on her temple.

The empress sat in the hall in a daze, the green bamboo sachet around her waist was a bit conspicuous, as she sat, the concubines did not dare to talk to her, and the silence was broken only when the general came to ask for an audience.

"Tell the general that I am tired."

The waiter went down to pass the message.

Pei Sui was a little surprised, but the queen didn't see him at this time, so he couldn't force his way in, so he lingered outside the hall for a while and left.

Tonight is Pei Yao's vigil, she is a little scared, afraid that the ghost of the emperor will haunt her, so she pulls Qingzhu and sits in the hall together.

After finally staying up until midnight, the queen mother came later.

She was sleepy, but the Queen Mother was very energetic. She sat down opposite her and looked at her quietly, "Queen."

"Empress Dowager." She forced herself to sit up, her eyelids were clenched, she was dazed for a while, and suddenly the emperor crawled out of the coffin, which made her tremble violently.

wake up.

Its daybreak.

Pei Yao rubbed her sore neck and got up in a daze. Qing Zhu came to support her: "Empress Empress, the eldest prince is here, you can go back to Jiaofang Hall."

Wearing filial piety clothes, the eldest prince knelt down in front of the emperor. Pei Yao took a look, left without saying a word.

Back at the Jiaofang Hall, bathed and cleansed, lay down on the couch and slept for a while, at noon, Mrs. Li came.

Qingzhu said worriedly: "Madam Li is not a good person." The day before yesterday the eldest prince wanted to pour dirty water on the empress, his intentions were too vicious.

"I don't see, the courtiers are in charge of the emperor's throne, and it has nothing to do with this Palace." Pei Yao didn't care about these things, the Queen Mother had her own opinions, and she didn't have the ability to interfere.

Qingzhu went to refuse.

"Ma'am, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Ruoxiang asked softly, the mourning hall was too cold last night, and it was easy to hurt your body, "Why don't you let the imperial doctor come to check your pulse?"

"No need, how can you be so delicate, go find out what the Empress Dowager is doing, what does the previous court mean?" Pei Yao was still a little worried, the concubine, who had no children and no daughter, was going to follow her to the imperial mausoleum. The queen, too, will remain in the court.

Ruoxiang sent someone to investigate.

The Xuanshi Hall was divided into two factions, one faction stood by the eldest prince, and the other faction stood beside King Yi'an.

The Empress Dowager did not speak for a long time, she sat on the table and sipped lotus seed tea, her thoughts drifted away from the sky.

The prime minister also followed the queen mother in silence, and the courtiers argued endlessly, but there was no result for a long time. King Yi'an looked at the queen mother, "Who do you think is suitable, queen mother?"

"King Yi'an should avoid suspicion." The queen mother stared, put down the teacup, said something slowly, and then looked at the officials, "You should know how your majesty was assassinated."

Such a statement is disapproving of the establishment of the first prince, and King Yi'an is overjoyed, as expected of the woman he has his eyes on, and everyone here is beginning to favor him.

The courtiers dare not deny the empress dowager's majesty. They have been arguing for so long that they are not worth a word from the queen mother.

"The foolish things that King Yi'an did have not passed away." The Queen Mother said softly.

King Yi'an's face changed drastically, "Why does this king make the queen mother dissatisfied?"

"The Ai family thinks that the second prince should be established." The Queen Mother ignored King Yi'an's question and directly threw out her own thoughts.

The eldest prince is 15 years old, and the second prince is 14 years old. His mother is a dancer girl, who has no power or power and has always been ignored.

When the queen mother raised it, King Yi'an was not convinced, "How can you take on such a big responsibility, baby boy?"

"King Yi'an is already old, and I'm afraid he lacks energy." The Queen Mother replied lightly.

King Yi'an is over 40 years old, so he is naturally not as energetic as his youngest son.

The courtiers wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to lose their composure. They all pretended to be dumb and didn't dare to speak. King Yi'an's face was ashen, "It's a big deal for the new king, it's a joke."

"Is King Yi'an dissatisfied?" The queen mother stood up slowly, and called out: "Commander Jing."

"The minister is here!" The commander of the imperial forest army walked in with a knife.

The courtiers panicked for a moment, and the Queen Mother smiled slightly at King Yi'an: "My lord, what do you think?"

"The empress dowager's decree, the subject will naturally obey." King Yi'an did not dare to make mistakes. Under force, he has no chance to resist.

The queen mother nodded, "Since the prince also thinks it is good, let's make the second prince."

The courtiers agreed one after another, and King Yi'an felt disgusted and dared not vomit as if he had swallowed a fly.

****

Meng Qi waited outside the Hall of Changle for a long time, when he saw the queen mother's phoenix chariot coming from a distance, he leaned over and stood at one side, and when the phoenix chariot came, he knelt down to pay his respects.

"Doctor Meng, get up." The Empress Dowager stepped out of the chariot, without even looking at it, she held Ruoyun's hand and passed Meng Qi.

Meng Qi was used to waiting for the queen mother to leave before standing up and following the queen mother into the hall.

The hall is warm. After entering, I feel a burst of heat, like being wrapped in hot spring water.

The Empress Dowager took off her cloak and sat down. Seeing Meng Qi's restraint, she ordered: "Physician Meng, don't be restrained. You can bring your marriage certificate."

"Bring it, bring it." Meng Qi was so nervous that his tongue tied up and his fingertips trembled. He slowly took out the marriage certificate from the medicine box, stepped forward a few steps, and handed it to the Queen Mother with both hands.

The Empress Dowager took the marriage letter and took a closer look. The corners of her lips curled up, and she looked at the reserved young man, "Physician Meng, the Ai family has a question for you."

"The minister must know everything." Meng Qi was afraid, and his palms were sweating.

The queen mother pressed the marriage letter under the cup and smiled, "When the Pei family let Pei Yao enter the palace, why didn't you come out and show that you two have a marriage contract."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, I dare not disobey."

The Queen Mother laughed.

The author has something to say: Empress Dowager: Is Aijia a fool?
