Empress snatches dried fish

Geng Bai'an didn't listen carefully to what the eunuch said specifically, anyway, he was praising her hard, praising her so much that there is nothing in the world, and the last sentence summed up the content of "Geng Bai'an is the queen of Da Chong from today on".

After a lengthy edict was read, the emperor turned and returned to his court chair, but Geng Bai'an was led by the queen mother to the seat she had just sat on.

With a loving face, she patted the back of Geng Bai'an's hand: "Sit down, child, you must assist the emperor well from now on."

Geng Bai'an slightly bowed his head: "Bai An understands."

Seeing the queen's dignified appearance, the queen mother nodded in satisfaction again, turned around and walked to the seat on the other side of the emperor, which was obviously added temporarily, and sat down slowly.From tomorrow onwards, the Empress Dowager will not have to come to court.

The queen mother looked at the dignified and gentle Geng Bai'an who was not lacking in majesty, and felt grateful for the advice she had given to the emperor. The daughter of General Geng's family is so stable at such a young age, she is indeed a rare woman.

After seeing the queen mother, Geng Bai'an didn't understand even more. Shu Yonghe's body has just turned 19 years old, and he is ten years younger than before time travel. Calculated according to the age of children in ancient times, the queen mother who gave birth to him is full of people. This year is less than four years old. ten.Don't say that, just by looking at her skin, you can tell that she is still very young, how can she behave so old-fashioned.

At this moment, Geng Bai'an still has time to think about other things, because she doesn't know that the chair under her buttocks represents the power of the mother of a country, that is, women in this world have far more rights than her original world in ancient times.In Dachong Kingdom, the empress must go to court with the emperor, and all state affairs must be decided by the empress at the same time.

If there is a disagreement, further discussions are required.

This is to prevent the emergence of faint and tyrants, and it is also one of the reasons why the Da Chong Kingdom has continued to prosper for twelve generations.

It's just that the queen is usually not as familiar with government affairs as the emperor, and all she has to do is to stop the emperor from killing innocent people indiscriminately, which can also make loyal officials speak out more freely.

After all, loyal words have been harsh since ancient times, and unpleasant words can easily arouse the emperor's resentment.The so-called companion is like a tiger, no one knows whether the smiling emperor will chop you off in a moment of brain fever after hearing what you said.

Another point is that this move has invisibly improved the social status of women, so even if successive queens do not want to participate in the government, it is easy to cause protests from women.

However, in this era and under this kind of politics, women also have their own place in the court—although it is only the queen, it is enough to show that this place is different from Geng Bai'an's original world.

It's just that in Geng Bai'an's eyes now, the court chairs that represent power are just two wooden chairs inlaid with jade.The jade is very large and looks very valuable. The pattern on the chair is very special, very similar to the scales of a dragon, so it should also be very valuable.

In fact, the emperor's court chair is made of dragon pattern wood, which is unique in this world and extremely rare.

The reason why it is named dragon pattern wood is that the lines on its trunk resemble the scales of a dragon, and no matter how you cut it, the dragon scale lines in the cut surface of the trunk can be connected with the lines on the side after being exposed.Dragon pattern wood is rare, and there is only a small piece in a certain wasteland in the west of Dachong, which is too small to be called a "forest".

The royal family sent special personnel to take care of it, and almost all the output was sent to the palace.Occasionally, a little leaked out can fetch sky-high prices on the black market.The amount of dragon grain wood used for the facing chair is not just "valuable".

Geng Bai An is very satisfied with the fact that he will own this big chair.

"Chen, see the empress empress, empress is a thousand years old!"

Geng Bai'an had just sat down, and the ministers who were standing with folded hands knelt down and worshiped. She slightly raised her hand under the emperor's signal: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, empress." The ministers stood up in response, and after standing upright, they knelt down on the mats on the ground.

The empress looked at each other and smiled slightly.

From the eyes of the ministers present and the Queen Mother, this smile is tacit and majestic, but in fact, what Geng Bai'an and Shu Yonghe see from each other's eyes is another meaning.

Emperor: Brother, you are so beautiful today!

Queen: Good sister, you are also very handsome today!

Seeing this, the queen mother on the side expressed her great relief.

……

After the Empress Seal Ceremony, Shu Yonghe immediately went to the study to deal with various memorials, apologized to Geng Bai'an and the Queen Mother, and then left.And Geng Bai'an followed the Queen Mother to her Yongning Palace, preparing to leave the wife to serve tea, which is actually not an important procedure in the royal family.

As for why the husband can not be by his side because he is busy?Again, the royal family is still different from ordinary people.

If Shu Yonghe put aside the urgent government affairs and accompanied her, it would appear that she is incompetent as a queen.

The Palace of Yongning is different from Geng Bai'an's imagination. It is not as magnificent as the places where the queen mothers live in TV dramas. Instead, the various color schemes look very majestic and calm.Just think about it with your toes, and each of these seemingly ordinary furniture and decorations is absolutely priceless.

This empress dowager obviously didn't have any special beliefs, and it was completely different from Geng Bai'an's stereotyped image of holding a Buddhist bead every day and kneeling in front of the Buddha statue at every turn.It may also be because of the system that Queen Chongguo can also participate in politics, so she doesn't need to use the name of kindness to cover up anything.

Empress Da Chongguo's gaze has never been limited to the small place of the harem.

After the queen mother sat down in the main seat, her personal servant brought a cup of tea. Geng Bai'an knelt in front of the queen mother according to etiquette, took the teacup, and obediently handed it over: "The queen mother drinks tea."

Although he was not used to a group of people kneeling and worshiping him, Geng Bai'an didn't have much psychological burden to kneel in front of his elder - especially when the elder was still the queen mother.

"Okay, okay." The Empress Dowager was obviously satisfied with everything about Geng Bai'an, took a sip of the tea, and waved to another palace man behind her.

The palace man was holding a wooden tray with a pair of jade bracelets on it.I don't know what kind of jade bracelet it is, but it is fiery red all over. If you look at it from different angles under the sun, you can still see the dancing flames, which is very magical.Geng Bai'an thought that the meeting gifts that the Queen Mother could offer were not ordinary gifts, but even she who didn't know the value of this pair of bracelets knew that it was very valuable.

"Good boy, get up first." The Empress Dowager raised her chin slightly, and the palace servants beside her immediately stepped forward to help Geng Bai'an up.

The queen mother smiled and picked up the pair of bracelets, pulled Geng Bai'an's hand and put them on: "This pair of phoenix blood jade bracelets is more than its own value. It was passed down to my daughter-in-law by our Dachong royal family. I took it over from the first Empress Dowager on the day of the Empress Dowager Ceremony, and now Aijia passes it on to you, and from now on you will take on the responsibility of being the mother of a country."

Geng Bai'an touched the smooth texture of the phoenix blood jade bracelet, only to feel that they suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold: "Bai An understands."

"This is the symbol of Empress Da Chong. You should put it away after you go back, and you must take it with you every morning."

Morning? !

Could it be that the queen of this place has to go to the early dynasty?It was agreed that women in ancient times could not show their faces in public, and the queen only needs to be virtuous and virtuous to manage the harem well?This is not in the original owner's incomplete memory!

It really is a "broken" memory.

Even though he was surprised in his heart, Geng Bai'an still complied with his usual expression.

She sat down under the empress dowager, and immediately got down to business: "Bai An has something to ask the empress dowager."

"You said."

"The emperor has been on the throne for several months, and now Da Chong also has a queen, but there are only two concubines in the harem, and neither of them has any heirs. Bai An wants to welcome beautiful women into the palace in the coming month, and think about it for the emperor, so that Da Chong can be married as soon as possible." The next few princes and daughters." When Geng Bai'an was speaking, he looked at the Empress Dowager the whole time, with a natural and generous expression: "I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants?"

"This... is the emperor's meaning?" The queen mother seemed a little surprised by this, she did not expect that Geng Bai'an would talk to her about these things on the first day of marriage.If this is Geng Bai'an's own meaning, it means that she has no feelings for the emperor.

In fact, it is not a bad thing for the queen to have weak feelings for the emperor. On the contrary, when women are not emotional, they can analyze various forms more rationally, so as to better assist the emperor.The Queen Mother faintly felt that with Geng Bai'an's temperament, maybe this was the case.

"No, it's what Bai An meant." Geng Bai'an had long made up his mind to choose a good wife for Shu Yonghe, if he didn't like one, he could choose a bunch of them, there would always be one that would satisfy him.Anyway, sooner or later the harem will be stuffed by courtiers who want to consolidate their status with their daughters, nieces, and even beauties who are specially sought out. It is better to choose a few less purposeful women before them, and let her accompany Shu Yonghe well.

The queen mother stared at Geng Bai'an in silence for a long while, and finally sighed: "Queen, you are a good person, since you have this idea, go ahead and do it. From now on, the affairs of the harem will be entirely entrusted to you, no need Ask for instructions on everything, you are the queen of the Da Chong Kingdom."

"Yes." As soon as he heard that the queen mother wanted to let people go, Geng Bai'an stood up, folded his hands in front of him and made a simple salute: "If the queen mother is fine, Bai An will go back to handle palace affairs."

"Go."

After Geng Bai'an left, the palace servants who had followed the queen mother for more than 20 years smiled and massaged her shoulders: "The queen mother still has a bright eye. This queen is always thinking of the emperor, and you don't need to worry about everything in the future."

"Which woman do you think would sincerely like her husband, three wives and four concubines, and choose them by herself? It's just that as a daughter-in-law of the royal family, she has to do so. This Bai An has a clear mind and will be a good queen, but it will be hard for her Myself." Speaking of these, the queen mother felt quite empathetic: "It has been more than 20 years, and I have finally let go of this burden."
