Empress dowager, the queen sighed

In Pei Yao's eyes, the Empress Dowager is graceful and luxurious, just like she is now, looking at life and death indifferently.

But the bloody hole on King Yi'an's neck made people shudder. This is His Majesty Huiming's brother, a descendant of the Li family.

She stood beside the corpse, staring blankly at the woman who was as plain as water, her heart throbbing, she swallowed her saliva, and walked in front of the Empress Dowager.

She lowered her eyes and saw the blood on the cuff of the Empress Dowager.

"My lord is dead..."

The boy yelled in horror, and those who approached all retreated one after another, covering their faces in fear.

The Empress Dowager stared, listening to the sound of everyone breathing in and the wind by the lake. After a long silence, the emperor suppressed his shock and said, "There are assassins, go find them quickly."

King Yi'an died, and she was thinking, what should he do with the soldiers in his hands, will he take the opportunity to make trouble?

The empress dowager ignored Pei Yao, walked slowly to the corpse, and said to the emperor: "Give you a chance, and you will have your own soldiers."

If you have the ability, you can accept the soldiers in the hands of King Yi'an yourself.

Shock flashed in the emperor's eyes, the empress dowager is so calm, did she kill him?

But killing a prince on New Year's Eve is not the best policy.She didn't think it was the best strategy, but the empress dowager just did it, and at this moment, she was completely convinced.

The empress dowager's strategy and courage forced her to surrender.

With some confidence, she bowed to the Empress Dowager, "I know what to do."

"Come here, tell the Minister of Dali Temple and Minister of the Ministry of Justice to come to see me. In addition, the gate of the palace is closed to prevent the assassin from escaping. Please continue to watch the fireworks and water lanterns."

Pei Yao came back from the shock, the emperor in her gaze was confident and did not panic at all, she looked at the empress dowager again, as indifferent as ever.

Don't be greedy or arrogant.

After the emperor ordered, the family members immediately panicked, and King Yi'an's servant was quickly captured by the Imperial Forest Army and dragged away with his mouth gagged.

He is a witness to the murder of the Empress Dowager, and he will not be alive.

The Empress Dowager walked to the place where the water lamp had just been placed, squatted down, brushed her hands over the water, and washed the blood on her cuffs in front of everyone, flaunting herself wantonly.

In the silent scene, no one dared to speak.

Fulu stepped forward to hand over a clean handkerchief, the Empress Dowager stood up, took it, wiped the water stains on her hands, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, you will go out when you catch the assassin. Boring, Aijia will play a game with you, okay?"

Playing games with the Empress Dowager?

Who would have the guts to do so? How King Yi'an died just now is still a mystery, but the closest to him is the Empress Dowager.

They thought it was the Empress Dowager, but they had the courage to look at it. The Empress Dowager was a weak woman who couldn't hold a sword, let alone puncture someone's throat.

Soon he dispelled his doubts and followed the empress dowager back to the palace to play games.

Pei Yao went in with the crowd, and sat back on her seat as if waking up from a dream. The Empress Dowager was still at ease, without any discomfort.

The game starts soon, the simplest drinking order, the loser drinks or draws lots.

There are many activities marked on the stick, such as piano, dancing, poetry and so on.

Start from the family members at the gate of the hall, go around and go back.

Many people were frightened, but after drinking a glass of wine, they felt a little more energetic, and wine can strengthen their courage.

When it came to the girl from the Wu family, Pei Yao took a look, she lost, she didn't drink, but came out to dance generously.

Others were terrified, but she seemed to seize this opportunity and wanted to express herself.

The emperor just came back at this time, and when he saw the girl in the neon dress and feather coat, his eyes lit up, the corners of his lips curled up, and the latter smiled even more charmingly, "My daughter is showing her shame."

Pei Yao rested her chin, what she disliked watching the most was dancing, twisting and turning, meaningless, she had already recovered from the shock of King Yi'an being stabbed to death, boring and boring,

When Miss Wu danced, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly rose. Many people watched intently, even the emperor watched intently.

Pei Yao looked at the bubble on the emperor's head, it was pink, which meant that she didn't like Miss Wu, and Luo Hua intended to be ruthless.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager was also very interested in watching it. She glanced at the lazy little Empress Dowager and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't look good?"

"It's not pretty, it's not as interesting as the Buddhist scriptures." Pei Yao said casually, she grew up in the mountains, and she chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha every day in the nunnery, so she had never been exposed to such elegant tastes.

When Li Xu was around, the dancing was more explicit, and Ms. Wu was even more careless about it.

The empress dowager saw through her mind at a glance, and said: "The empress dowager has seen too much, why don't you try it?"

"Me? Why don't you go by yourself?" Pei Yao didn't show weakness.

"Aijia?" The empress dowager's tone was melodious, making people hear something inexplicable. She looked at the queen and said, "If Aijia dances, you won't be angry."

Pei Yao raised her eyes to look at the Empress Dowager in surprise, and was in a daze for a while: "Are you dancing?"

She didn't expect the Empress Dowager to take her words, she was surprised, the Empress Dowager looked at her with a look of unnaturalness, "Aijia made a mistake, you have to give Aijia a chance to redeem."

Pei Yao's heart beat faster, she swallowed, but didn't reply, what does the Empress Dowager mean?

"You..." Pei Yao was surprised, but she closed her mouth in the next breath, and the bubble on the empress dowager's head turned red.

For some reason, Pei Yao felt warm in her heart, she hesitated for a while, and the dance of the Wu family girl was over.

"Queen Dowager, have you made up your mind?" The Empress Dowager urged, after Miss Wu finished, it was Pei Yao's turn.

Pei Yao frowned and looked at the Empress Dowager, after a few breaths, Fu Lu came over, she frowned: "Do I want to play too?"

The family members below shouted boldly, "I want it, I want it."

Pei Yao braced herself, and suddenly saw the Empress Dowager reaching out to grab her hand, and said, "How about the Ai family replacing the Empress Dowager?"

There was silence in the hall, and there was no sound.

Fu Lu smiled and said, "Does the Empress Dowager want to drink?"

Pei Yao looked deeply at the Empress Dowager, her face also sank, she was inexplicably afraid, the Empress Dowager has lived for a hundred years, would she dance to apologize?

Her mind was running fast, she was uneasy and uneasy, seeing the empress dowager's white hand stretching into the bamboo tube, she wanted to refuse, but her mouth felt stuck, and she couldn't open it no matter what.

The empress dowager took out a stick from the bamboo tube, everyone held their breath and concentrated, suddenly forgetting the bloody incident they had just experienced, they were eager to know what kind of bamboo stick the youngest empress dowager drew.

Pei Yao stretched out her hand to take it, pressed her fingertips on the writing on it, and slowly moved her fingertips away, but her face was already pale, and she was dancing.

Her head was buzzing, she gasped, and the courageous family members began to look around. The Prime Minister's wife got closer, and she asked with a smile, "Mother, Queen Mother, why are you silent?"

Pei Yao was curious about how the Empress Dowager got to dance among more than 20 lots, she smiled, "Same as Miss Wu."

Miss Wu's face turned pale, she pinched her cuffs with her hands, smiled reluctantly, and said: "The empress dowager looks beautiful in winter, and it is a great honor for my ministers to watch tonight."

"Can Aijia go back on his word?" The Empress Dowager chuckled lightly.

Everyone said no, the palace was full of wives and girls, and there were no courtiers. They smiled, and even the emperor was a little curious.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "Go to Rong Ai's house and change clothes."

Before leaving, he took a look at Pei Yao.

Pei Yao's expression was unnatural, she staggered her gaze, picked up the wine on the table and drank it.

The emperor was curious, and the empress dowager was not here, so she also relaxed, moved towards the empress dowager carefully, and quietly asked the empress dowager: "What do you think, empress dowager?"

Pei Yao bit her lips in embarrassment and didn't speak, would the Empress Dowager twist her waist when dancing?

After all, I have lived for more than 100 years, what should I do if my waist flashes?

After a while, the emperor urged in a low voice: "Queen Mother, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about flashing my waist, what should I do?" Pei Yao was absent-minded, the emperor asked, and she said it directly.

The emperor was stunned, shook his head and said: "No, the Empress Dowager is only Hua Xin's age this year, so she won't show off her waist. I wonder if the Empress Dowager's dance will be amazing."

Pei Yao lowered her eyes, Huaxin?Huaxin is a ghost, she and the emperor combined are not as old as the empress dowager.Pei Yao didn't dare to tell the emperor, she just nodded, "That's right, did the Empress Dowager dance before?"

The Empress Dowager has been married to His Majesty Huiming for several years, and it is common to happen on a whim.

The emperor seriously recalled that His Majesty Huiming was not of a merry-go-round nature, and most of the time he practiced alchemy in the palace, let alone concubines and empresses, even the prime ministers and others could not see him.

Presumably, he had no intention of talking about singing and dancing with the Empress Dowager.

She shook her head slowly: "It seems like it never happened before."

Pei Yao felt guilty.

The emperor laughed and said: "The Empress Dowager has dealt with many concubines of the late emperors. They all said in private that the Empress Dowager is incomprehensible and unfeminine, and that she is jealous of the concubine's beauty."

There are many women in the harem, and sitting together with nothing to do, it is not very pleasant to say a lot of words.

Pei Yao had never heard these words before, thinking about it, she didn't talk to the concubines a few times, most of the time, she stayed alone in the middle palace.

Hearing that she was so unfeminine, she retorted subconsciously: "No, she is very feminine."

The emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and said, "How do you know?"

"It can be seen that in terms of beauty, who can match the Empress Dowager?" Pei Yao asked directly, although the Empress Dowager is ruthless, no one can match her beauty.

The emperor thought about it and nodded unconsciously, "What the queen mother said is true."

"Your Majesty..." A servant hurried in at the gate of the palace, wiping the sweat off his brow, "Your Majesty, the assassin has been found and is being taken to prison."

The female relatives all breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Yao immediately said: "In this case, everyone is shocked today, go back earlier."

As soon as the Empress Dowager's words came out, the female relatives were both surprised and happy, kowtowed in haste, and left one by one in an orderly manner.

Pei Yao smiled and signaled to send the last female family member away. Pei Yao took the opportunity to dismiss the emperor: "Aren't your majesties going to see the assassin?"

"Well, good." The emperor hesitated a little, but soon realized that the queen mother wanted to dismiss her.

The emperor smiled slightly at the queen mother, "Be careful when the queen mother returns to the palace, I will leave first."

The people in the hall were all dismissed by Pei Yao, she walked down with her skirt in her hand, and made Qingzhu to follow her, and she sat on the lowest step in the hall.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door of the palace opened slowly, and the Empress Dowager walked in, until she walked in front of Pei Yao.

Suddenly there was a shadow in front of her, Pei Yao's eyelashes trembled, and when she looked up, Miss Li was wearing a red shirt.

The wind at the entrance of the hall made the red skirts fly, and the skirts gently brushed against Pei Yao's eyelashes, and she clumsily reached out to hold them down.

The Empress Dowager held a sword in her hand, and she was very chivalrous and gentle, which was very different from the woman in the black dress who was free from dust and lust.

Pei Yao's heart trembled, and suddenly a gust of sword wind swept across her, she narrowed her eyes, the sword flowers scattered, and the light in the hall became brighter.

The three-foot long sword rubbed against the ground, and rose up in the air, like a swimming dragon, soft like a butterfly dancing, and light like a feather.Miss Wu is purely dancing, while the Empress Dowager seems to be dancing with a sword.

The two are very different, the dance in front of them is like wild grass, and each move is very disciplined.

Pei Yao's heart was at a standstill at this moment, with both hardness and softness, she was probably talking about a woman like the Empress Dowager.

She just looked at it quietly, the red is seductive, the long sword is sharp, it seems that this place is not the palace, but the wanton rivers and lakes mentioned in the book.

The Empress Dowager does not belong to the palace, but belongs to the rivers, lakes and canyons. Under the colorful fallen leaves, the long sword comes out of the body, and her beauty is as clean as dust.

The sword landed again, and the Empress Dowager stood in the wind and looked at the silent person: "Are you still angry?"

Pei Yao remained silent, turned her face away arrogantly, and did not meet her gaze.

The emperor outside the palace stopped for a long time. It turned out that the Empress Dowager had an unknown side. She was amazed and felt that such a woman was rare in the world.

The hole in King Yi'an's throat should be the work of the Empress Dowager, only she has the skill and courage to kill people in public.

Pei Yao in the hall went to hold the sword, it weighed more than she imagined, she could only lift it with two hands, "Don't be angry anymore."

This sword is too heavy.

With a bang, Pei Yao dropped the sword and opened her arms towards the Empress Dowager: "Do you like me?"

The Empress Dowager frowned and said nothing, Pei Yao snorted, walked away.

The emperor outside the palace couldn't dodge in time, and stood directly behind the pillar, watching the queen mother walk by her.

The Empress Dowager slowly picked up the sword on the ground, handed it to Ruoyun, and went after the Empress Dowager herself.

As soon as she walked to the palace road, the Empress Dowager caught up with her, held Pei Yao's hand, and said, "I like it."

Only then did Pei Yao calm down, and squinted at her, "You are much prettier than your black robe."

The Empress Dowager stood silently in front of her for a moment, looked down at her red clothes, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, she was only skinny, there was something good and bad about it.

Pei Yao hooked her little finger with her index finger and shook it, "Go back."

The two of them got into the chariot together. It had been a long time, almost ugly.

After taking a bath in Changle Hall, it was already an ugly moment to go to bed.

Pei Yao was lying on the inside, Miss Li's dance repeatedly appeared in her head, she smiled and got into the quilt.

The Empress Dowager went to the study, wrote a letter, and then returned to the bedroom.

The Empress Dowager took off her clothes and went to bed, Pei Yao fell asleep, hugging the quilt, sleeping like a child.

Not long after, Pei Yao slowly approached her, and the corners of her lips touched her ear.

A good night's sleep.

****

On the first day of the lunar new year, there have always been several important events. The new emperor accepted the worship of all officials, and then went to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors.

Pei Yao is the empress dowager, so she will not go there. The empress dowager let Li Puyu face it alone, and asked the prime minister to help her, while she fell asleep peacefully.

When Pei Yao woke up, there was no one beside her, Ruoyun waited for her to get up, and said: "Today, the female family members are coming to pay their respects to the Queen Mother."

Pei Yao touched under the quilt, but couldn't find any clothes, then looked at Ruoyun's hand, it was a red palace dress, which she had never seen before.

She resigned herself to not looking for her own clothes, put on the ones in Ruoyun's hands, and went to dress herself in front of the bronze mirror.

Ruoyun said cautiously: "This servant will change your makeup for you."

"Okay." Pei Yao yawned, let Ruoyun do her makeup, and closed her eyes first.

When the Empress Dowager came back, her eyes still did not open, Ruoyun handed the eyebrow pencil to the Empress Dowager, and retreated by herself.

The Empress Dowager looked at her complicatedly, and tapped her head with eyebrow pencil, "If I hadn't been with you last night, Aijia would have suspected that you had done some shady deeds."

Pei Yao pursed the corners of her lips, a little unnaturally, "I want to do something shameful, will you let me do it?"

"You are so beautiful." The Empress Dowager deliberately poked her forehead with a pen, very unhappy.

But Pei Yao stood up and pointed to her heart, "I want to do something bad here, I'm done, I can do it."

The empress dowager was startled by her ferocious attitude, and slowly looked at the person in front of her, her eyes gradually sank, and she said: "Heavy. The desire is not good, the empress dowager should learn from Aijia."

"Learn from your pure heart and few desires? Learn from your loneliness for a hundred years, or learn from your boredom and indecency?" Pei Yao didn't care about her face, "If you don't have desires and desires, just like you, it's boring."

"The Ai family is useless, is the Empress Dowager blind?" The Empress Dowager pretended to sigh, but raised Pei Yao's chin with her hand, met her gaze, and held the corner of her lips.

Her kiss is different from Pei Yao's, skillful and gentle, touching lightly to the touch.In, it only takes a few breaths of time.

"Does Aijia not understand?" The Empress Dowager asked softly, she put her hand on Pei Yao's waist, "Aijia knows best what you want to do."

Pei Yao was stunned, is this the beginning?

"The Ai family doesn't want to serve you, so make a fuss." The empress dowager said expressionlessly.

It's not boring, but it's more about calling. Moreover, the little queen mother's ability makes it difficult for her to start.

Pei Yao took her hand, and gradually approached her, wrapping her arms around the Empress Dowager's neck, "I, I will serve you."

"The Ai family doesn't like being served by others." The Empress Dowager ruthlessly refused, pushed away the little Empress Dowager's hand, picked up the eyebrow pencil on the dressing table, and slowly looked at the person in the bronze mirror.

The ability of the little queen mother makes people very uncomfortable, but unfortunately, without this ability, there is still no one to find.

"Sit down." The eyebrow pencil in the Empress Dowager's hand turned around and was firmly held between her two fingers.

Pei Yao sat and tossed and tossed with her, only feeling that pair of white and slender hands slowly swaying in front of her, white and long, which made people imagine.

The servants are all outside, and there are only two people in the hall.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager straightened up and said slowly, "Use it later."

The elegant makeup made the girl with no makeup even more eye-catching. Pei Yao looked at herself in the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction, "The empress dowager's hands are very skillful."

"After living for so many years, you must have a skill." The empress dowager looked ordinary, and she couldn't see any emotions.

Even, when Pei Yao cast a probing look at her, she smiled softly.

Pei Yao stopped looking at her, stood up by herself, walked towards her, bit her earlobe, and then rubbed her face, "My specialty is watching the empress dowager's desire."

The Empress Dowager took two steps back, "Don't the Empress Dowager ask about the past?"

Pei Yao's body was leaning on the Empress Dowager, and she trembled inexplicably when she heard these words.The Empress Dowager said to herself: "The national teacher stole the longevity medicine from her master, took one by herself, and gave the remaining one to the woman she likes. She said that the medicine can cure all poisons, and the woman died. Eat it for me."

"You and the national teacher like the same person?" Pei Yao showed a mocking look, "If I were the national teacher, I would kill you and dig out the elixir of longevity."

"You and the national teacher really agree with each other. She wanted to kill me, but unfortunately she didn't succeed. Later, I fought with her for a hundred years. She calculated..." The empress dowager stopped suddenly, her eyes were dim, and she changed her words: "I and the country The master has fought for a hundred years, and finally she dedicated me to Emperor Huiming, and she has benefited."

Pei Yao raised her feet and stood in the darkness, her expression was playful and seductive.

The empress dowager looked over, and the other party passed her and left directly, and became angry again.

She is not very young, but she has a strong temperament. She must be a difficult little old lady when she lives to be old.

Pei Yao left the bedroom, stood on the palace road, folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, looked straight ahead, put her hand on the green bamboo, and stepped onto the chariot.

The little empress dowager who was still seductive just now, under the background of the palace costume, is demure and beautiful, exuding a sense of dignity.

The empress dowager, who was watching her from afar, raised the corners of her lips, how did she learn, dignified?

Sooner or later, she will take off her deceitful outer clothes.

****

The emperor went to the ancestral temple, and the courtiers and women came to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, and many wives stood outside the palace.

It was the first time for Pei Yao to face so many women, she felt a little flustered, where there are many women there is right and wrong, she decided to send these people away.

No, Qingzhu suggested: "You can't leave, the dining room is preparing lunch, this is the rule."

I was supposed to visit the Empress Dowager, but last year it was Emperor Ai's Empress who accepted the visit from the female relatives, the new emperor has no heirs, Pei Yao had no chance to refuse.

Pei Yao was thinking of a way, the emperor was 15 years old, and it was time to establish a queen, and these troublesome things should be handed over to the new queen.

Those who can enter the palace are all women of the third rank and above. They are all women who know etiquette.

Compared to yesterday's palace banquet, which was much more serious, Pei Yao asked people to make tea and ordered them to start the banquet earlier.

Qingzhu refused again, "There is a set time, and it cannot be advanced."

Pei Yao was frustrated, she leaned on the couch and refused to move, there was the Empress Dowager, why did she have to carry it?

She was angry and asked someone to invite the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, the Changle Hall was silent, and the Empress Dowager had an extra letter from Jingzhou.

According to what Pei Sui wrote, within half a month, soldiers will come to the city of Luoyang.

Xuzhou's soldiers met Pei Sui in Xingyang, and Pei Sui took [-] soldiers and horses as his own. For a while, the situation was overwhelming. At this moment, Luoyang City was still singing and dancing, trapped in the joy of the New Year, and did not know the disaster was coming.

The empress dowager torched the letter paper, her face expressionless, and then she walked out of the stuffy palace.

Standing under the eaves, the weather is clear and relieved.How to come, how to go.

Mrs. Li is just a passer-by in the world, who is next?

The courtyard was silent, the Empress Dowager stared at the floating clouds in the sky for a long time, and a servant in the distance came into view.

Not long after, the servant walked in front of her and kowtowed to her, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager invites you to Weiyang Palace."

The author has something to say: Pei Yao: emmmmmmm
