How to write a story beginning with “I was his crown princess for ten years, but after he ascended the throne, he only named me an imperial concubine”?

“Return” (text + extra chapter has been finished, rest assured to eat) 1 I am his crown princess for ten years, but after he ascended the throne, he only named me the imperial concubine.

I got up and took the letter of conferment and asked the little yellow door who was in charge of delivering the decree, “So who is the queen?”?

“He looked at me with fear.” Yes … It’s Empress Chou.. I smiled and waved him away. The ladies

in the palace all looked at me carefully, but I held the imperial edict in my arms and laughed: “It’s ridiculous that there is a queen in the world who has been canonized because of love.”. I didn’t see the empress for two months after the ceremony of the

imperial concubine, but I saw the emperor for no other reason. The decree of the imperial concubine was blocked by the cabinet for two months. He was so angry that he almost used his staff.

Now the new king, who was obviously in trouble, broke into my palace. He opened his mouth and said, “Mei-an, please give up your position in the middle of the palace.”.

“I was stunned.” Is this the good idea emperor came up with?

“Cheng Lu-heng looked very angry:” Now there is no other way. If you take the initiative to resign, things will be all right.

“I was almost angry and laughed:” The emperor has never revealed to me a word to seize my position in the main palace, but also expect me to take the initiative on the table?

Heng Lang, what you think is too beautiful. Enraged by my uncooperative attitude,

he said, Hsiao Mei-an, I have told you long ago that I have no feelings for you. There is only one person in

my heart.

“I said in a sad voice,” Do I have no affection for the emperor, nor have I had affection for him in the past ten years?

I have been brought up by the empress Dowager since I was a child, and I am full of thoughts about how to do your main house well and how to help you in the great cause of the world. I have been in the prince’s mansion for ten years, and I am not arrogant and jealous, and I wholeheartedly help you to educate the concubines and raise their children. You have seen it in your eyes, and even sister Zhou has never said anything wrong about me.

Now what did I do wrong to be humiliated by demoting my wife to be a concubine?

I gave everything to the emperor, even the children. .my child.. The more I spoke, the more I couldn’t stop talking about Cheng Lu-heng’s face, until the last sentence flatly stopped me: “All right!”! What are you talking about?

“I burst into tears, and he seemed unable to bear it. He took a deep breath and said,” I will see your watch tomorrow, or else … Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy to you! With tears in my eyes, I watched him leave in a hurry. Chengyu immediately came up and supported me. “Empress, what shall we do?”?

Do you really want to write this self-expression?

“Lianyu was so angry that she burst into tears.” This is really a great shame! When the emperor vowed to grow old together with the empress, did he feed the dog?

！」 Be careful what you say.

“I stopped her and said,” Chengyu, Lianyu, now you are not like the prince’s mansion. You are the ladies in the palace of the imperial concubine. Every word and deed represents my meaning. Don’t say

such disrespectful words again. With a look of grief and indignation on her face,

Cheng Yu said, You are the first wife chosen by the empress Dowager for the emperor. Are you so consigned to the position of an imperial concubine?

I did not speak, but reached out to take the veil from the little maid of honor and washed my face twice in the warm water of the rose juice, until no one could see my tears.

Then I motioned to the maid of honor to carry the water down and said with a light smile, “The imperial concubine is the imperial concubine. Since he insists on having his own way, what good is it for me to fight hard?”?

“Chengyu hesitated.” But Empress, do we really want to ask ourselves to resign as empress? The position

of empress is very important, but it is impossible to resign.

“I lowered my voice.” Not only do we want to suffer losses, but we also want to earn the benefits. Let them get all the benefits. There is no such good thing. On

the second day, the news came from the inner palace that Xiao Guifei was seriously ill.

Rumor has it that the first day the emperor went to talk to Concubine Xiao and left in a huff, and that night Concubine Xiao fell ill.

When the imperial physician came to see the doctor, the imperial concubine actually vomited blood, which really frightened the palace.

Now the doctor is also helpless, only said that the imperial concubine is qi and blood attack the heart leading to meridian disorder, now can only be good health, during which can no longer be stimulated. As soon as

this remark came out, the palace was in an uproar. Who doesn’t know why the imperial concubine, who has always been in good health, suddenly “attacked her heart with Qi and blood?”?

Not to mention the courtiers, even the concubines in the palace could not bear to look at them.

I was sitting comfortably at the head of the bed eating grapes from the southern tribute while listening to Lianyu report to me how she had gone to see Zheng Luheng in the morning: When the maidservant came up, she cried, saying that the empress was going to write a resignation form, but in the middle of it, she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

Now fainted in bed has been unable to pick up the pen, only let the maidservant say, since you are now seriously ill can not manage the affairs of the six palaces, naturally can not be the queen.

In that case, let the emperor make another queen, “she said vividly.” The maidservant handed over our watch, but you didn’t see the emperor’s face! It was about to collapse at that time. Ask

again what maidservant just one side kowtow at the same time cry, finally the emperor is angry to let maidservant roll quickly.

Chengyu peeled a grape for me and said, We caught two chickens in the middle of the night, but we put in three bowls of blood. Most of the bowl is drenched on the watch

alone. Can it not hurt people?

I almost vomited again. I came up with

this bad idea myself: find some fresh chicken blood, sprinkle part of it on the memorial to give the illusion that I was distraught and vomiting blood, and pour the other part into a thin casing and swallow it directly.

When the doctor came, I vomited blood on the spot. Anyway, it was real blood. Who would look carefully at whether it was human blood or chicken blood?

The imperial physician could not diagnose the disease, so naturally, the imperial concubine was stimulated by the side room and suddenly became seriously ill.

As for the fresh chicken blood in the middle of the night?

Although it is a big crime to collude with the Imperial Kitchen in the palace regulations, I, Xiao Meian, have been brought up in the palace by the empress Dowager since I was eight years old, and have been married to the prince and named the imperial concubine for more than ten years in the palace, and a group of my own people have been scattered around the palace.

Looking for Imperial Kitchen acquaintances to ask for two chickens is not a problem, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to do.

As for money-I have the empress Dowager, the empress Dowager first reward, outside the support of the whole Xiao family, I am afraid that the richest empress and concubine in the whole palace is me, Xiao Meian.

From then on, I quietly recuperated (ate) and got sick (slept) in the palace, and the ministers finally stopped arguing and reluctantly agreed to make Zhou Yanyan empress.

Since then, three months after he ascended the throne, the battle for the middle palace has finally come to an end. People in the inner palace, the outer palace, and even the capital all pity me for losing the throne because of the emperor’s preference.

Zhou Yanyan formally held the power of the palace in the world, while I lingered on in the partial palace.

“If you don’t get the right position, you’ll lose popular support,” I murmured as I looked at the Fengyi Palace. “Don’t worry, it’s just the beginning. Let’s wait and see. It was

another three months before I went to see the queen for the first time.

For three months, I was ordered to take good care of my illness and not to take part in all activities-that is, to be grounded in disguise. Several concubines who

used to live in my palace were also pulled out, as if they were afraid that I would have nothing to do during my illness.

I don’t care. Just have a good rest. It

doesn’t mean that if we give up the position of queen, they can let us go. We must prepare for a rainy day. I’m afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Privately,

I told Chengyu and Lianyu, The palace has never been a peaceful place, and even the cleanest people come in.. What’s more, Zhou Yanyan has never been very kind.

Today is the day for the whole palace to pay their respects to the empress, and it is also the first day that I have been grounded.

I got up early in the morning, asked people to wait and tidy up inside and outside, put on a rather ordinary moon white palace dress, put a few silk flowers on my head and went out.

This dress, I am afraid, is not as good as the favored ones.

I hope the one in Fengyi Palace can know that I am giving her face. Don’t be unappreciative.

The concubine Hsiao paid her respects to the empress, and the empress was blessed. In the main hall of

the Fengyi Palace, I stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Zhou Yanyan sat motionless on the throne.

I lowered my head and could still hear the slight sound of the teacups touching each other.

Give me a kick in the pants?

I sighed in my heart that Zhou Yanyan was still acting in the same way, all on impulse. It’s no good for her to

mess with me now, and she won’t know?

It’s just that I didn’t like it long ago, and now it’s very easy to press me, but it’s coming.

So I knelt down, afraid that the queen had finished a cup of tea, and she would not wake me up.

The other concubines came in one after another, and when they saw Xiao Guifei kneeling on the ground, they did not dare to breathe.

After a while, I heard the door of the Fengyi Palace close-it seemed that the whole palace had come. Is she

using me as a raft to show off her queen? Just because

I don’t make a sound doesn’t mean I don’t think. Now

I was kneeling, and in my heart I was already thinking about how to spread this matter to the inner palace, the outer palace, and even the front court.

But before she had finished, she heard someone say, “Empress, the elder sister of the imperial concubine is just in good health. I’m afraid she can’t help kneeling like this. Please show mercy and tell her to get up.”.

It’s Concubine Gong, and my heart is set.

She is the first prince side imperial concubine, calculate seniority than Zhou Yanyan is also much older, but also gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Only such a hidden old man dares to talk to the queen like this. What does Empress

Kung Fei mean by that?

The empress is the head of the harem. Whoever she tells to kneel has to kneel. How can our concubines speak?

A charming voice sounded.

I was surprised that there was such a frivolous person in the whole palace? I’m not familiar with

this voice. It should not be brought up by Qian Di. It’s estimated that it’s a new person who was elected to the palace after he ascended the throne. I’m afraid he’s quite popular.

I was surprised that when I was in charge of the hidden mansion, I was not allowed to be so undisciplined by the favored palace people. I’m not in charge

now. How does the empress manage the concubines?

The former leader expressed his disapproval.

Chou Chun-yan coughed lightly. “All right, don’t be rude.”.

“She paused.” Look at my memory. I’m just drinking tea, but I forgot that Sister Xiao is still kneeling down. Get up quickly.

I was helped up by Chengyu and limped to the queen’s left hand to sit down. She was already smiling: The imperial concubine has been convalescing for the past few months. I’m afraid she hasn’t seen these new sisters yet.

I was secretly wishing her a bad memory and an early onset of Parkinson’s disease. Hearing this, I quickly laughed: What the empress said was that she didn’t know when to choose the beautiful girls and concubines. They must all be first-class beauties.

Empress, do me the honor of recognizing someone. As soon as

I said this, the beauty queen’s face quickly darkened, and she returned to normal. These, Hu Jieyu and Yeh Jieyu, are the daughters of Xun Jiu, while Zhao Guiren, Sun Guiren, and Wei Guiren were selected by the people.

The imperial concubine gets along well with them. If there are any irregularities, the imperial concubine will teach them directly.

I won’t teach. It’s your business now, I thought.

The queen also said a few words to everyone, roughly is the recent matters in the palace, you have to abide by the rules of the palace or something.

As he was saying this, someone suddenly came to say, “Someone has come from the Hongning Palace, saying that the third son of the emperor is paying his respects to the empress.”.

“The queen’s eyes lit up.” Come in quickly.

To tell you the truth, I am also very excited. The rule in the

palace has always been that princes and princesses are raised in other palaces, unified by their wives, and their biological mothers can only see each other once a few days.

So in Qian Di, Yan Qin, Yan Ming, Yan Zhong and several empresses were all raised by me. Zheng Yanming, the third son of

the emperor, is my favorite child.

Because he is Zheng Luheng’s favorite son of Zhou Yiyan, he is likely to be named Crown Prince, so I have always spent the most effort to teach him to read, ride and shoot moral cultivation.

But Yan Ming is a good boy, he is smart, diligent, a little pass, although only eight years old, but already has the style of the crown prince.

Yan Ming came in and saluted, saying, My son, pay his respects to his mother. Smiling from ear to ear

, Chou said, Ming’er, come quickly to your mother’s side.

Yan Ming, however, saluted me first: My son pays his respects to his mother and concubine. Is she in good health?

“He looked at me carefully.” Ming’er saw that his mother’s face was not good. She wanted to rest more and take medicine well. Then

he reluctantly went to the queen’s side.

I almost shed tears. I am

indeed the child I have loved since I was a child. Apart from Yan Ming, no one in the whole palace cares about my body today.

But the queen’s face was very gloomy.

She squeezed out a smiling face and stroked Yan Ming’s hair, then asked him about his life and study, and then asked the servants to take him to the rear hall to eat snacks. As soon

as Yen-ming left, she gave me a hard look. Then she said to the concubines, “This palace is going to look like a palace. I just discussed it with the emperor yesterday. From now on, the princes and daughters will all be raised in the Hongning Palace and taken care of by the palace. The birth mother can visit every month and on holidays, and the rest of the miscellaneous people will wait.” She stared at me. “Don’t go near the Hongning Palace!”. Before I could say anything, Gong Fei exclaimed, “Every month?”? Didn’t we

use to see each other once every three days?

The empress looked at her warningly, but she didn’t care. She went straight to the empress and knelt down. “Empress, the eldest daughter of the emperor and the fourth son of the emperor can’t not see the concubines. Please.” “Why doesn’t Empress Gong deal with the empress everywhere today?

So irreverent, but not like a concubine of the empress.

The charming voice rang again, and I looked at it coldly. It was Hu Jieyu, who had recently entered the palace.

Look at that bejeweled, should be very popular, but actually speak like this, this character-I looked at Zhou Yan, I can not tolerate, but look at the empress is estimated to be no matter. Speak for the queen

everywhere, I’m afraid it’s her running dog.

I scanned the concubines. The mother of the eldest son of the emperor was humble and had passed away long ago. The second son of the emperor died in infancy. Wang Zhaoyi, the mother of the second daughter of the emperor, and Guo Jieyu, the mother of the third daughter of the emperor, were also about to kneel down to plead for mercy. However, they were frightened by Hu Jieyu’s words and did not dare to move. They only looked pitifully at the empress. With a sigh,

I heard the empress speak angrily, “Is Concubine Gong saying that the palace can’t take good care of the prince?”? Since

you love kneeling so much, go to the side hall to kneel, kneel for an hour and then go back to the palace to reflect.

“She turned to me.” The imperial concubine didn’t come out to shake what?

Go back and don’t come out. I don’t want you to pay your respects here.

Then he waved his hand angrily. You all go back. Then he

turned and went back to the inner temple.

The imperial concubines looked at each other, only to hear the silent sobs of Gong Fei kneeling on the ground.

Hu Jieyu looked at me proudly and took the lead in getting up and leaving.

The rest also left separately.

I left the palace and stepped on the soft sedan chair. Before I could take a few steps, I heard someone calling me.

I turned around and saw that it was not Hu Jieyu.

She came up to me with a smile, but she was not polite. “If I were an imperial concubine,” she said in a coquettish voice, “I wouldn’t go out to annoy others. I’d just close the palace door and take care of myself.”. Don’t

you think so, empress?

I was horrified.

Not because of Hu Shi, but because I was not in charge of palace affairs in March, but I was in such a mess. I thought I had never seen such a frivolous person in the palace for more than ten years, but I didn’t know how to deal with it.

I glanced at Chengyu Lianyu and saw that they were also more shocked than angry.

I thought about it for a moment, but I smiled. “Sister Hu is absolutely right. Now that my body has collapsed, I don’t know how long I can live. Why come out and stain other people’s eyes?”?

Go back to the palace to recuperate. Then,

regardless of her surprise, she ordered people to carry the sedan chair back to the palace. It was only when she

entered the palace gate that Lianyu recovered. “Why don’t you scold her, Empress?”? Falling behind in

vain, she’s just a little Jieyu.. I raised my hand to interrupt her, but she kept thinking, “I thought Chou Hsueh-yan had some ability to sit on the throne of empress, but now it seems..” I raised my voice, “Cheng Yu, Lian Yu.” When they approached me, I told them in a low voice, “Let people spread the story of my humiliation in the morning, the sooner the better, but don’t let people seize the handle.” I thought about it, “including the queen’s refusal to let the birth mother see the child and Hu Jieyu’s frivolous behavior.. Is Hu Shi a favorite concubine now?

“I looked up and called to a small officer in the corner.” How is it that I asked you to inquire about it?

Back to the empress, the emperor now rests with the empress for most of the month, and the rest is with Hu Jieyu. The rest of the nobles, Jieyu, can also share a few days. The people at

the empress’s place also replied, saying that the emperor had quarreled with the empress last month, vaguely sounding as if it was about Hu Jieyu, and that there had been a quarrel last month, as if it was about the empress. After

these two quarrels, the emperor was cold to the queen for seven or eight days, but it was all right.

“I nodded.” A few hours ago, it was fine. One or two days, then three or four days. Now it’s seven or eight days.

I waved to him to step down and told Chengyu and Lianyu to go outside and say that Hu’s bad conduct had caused discord between emperors and empresses.

Besides, you weigh it and say that you want to spread it out and let your brothers know.

Just one, do things carefully, and never let others notice.

“Chengyu nodded, and Lianyu looked up and said with a smile,” It’s not the maidservant’s boast. The empress’s people are all over the palace, and she can keep track of all the movements in the inner palace without leaving home. What can

others detect?

Even if we did, we couldn’t find out. Our people are loyal.

I lowered my head and played with the armor of plum blossoms inlaid with silver and jade. Don’t take it lightly.

I originally saw that Zhou Yanyan could not be in charge, but I didn’t expect that the inner palace would be in chaos so soon.

“I laughed sarcastically.” I used to work hard to control this group of restless people. Since he doesn’t appreciate it and doesn’t let me control it, I might as well make the palace a little more chaotic.

“I got up and stretched.” Emperors and empresses aren’t just ordinary couples. They just love each other. Let him see how much of the hand-chosen queen will be to his liking.

“Lianyu came up and took off her coat for me and said with a smile,” The empress just has a good rest and has worked for him for nothing for so many years. He doesn’t understand the empress at all.

Let’s ask them to see how peaceful the inner palace can be without the empress. The palace affairs under the management of

Zhou Yanyan soon had many problems.

First of all, the tribute ceremony for the birthday of the imperial concubine Jingkang was rather simple, which attracted a lot of opinions from the imperial concubine. You should know that the imperial concubine Jingkang was the first emperor of the first emperor. Now she is eighty years old and is the old longevity star in the palace. The queen mother dare not neglect her.

After that, the vassal States offered a batch of tributes, and the unfair distribution of concubines caused a lot of noise. Soon, even the emperor’s heirs had problems. When Concubine Gong went to see the fourth son of the emperor, she found that the weather turned cool and the charcoal used by the fourth son of the emperor had been embezzled. On the spot, she took people to the Qinzheng Hall and knelt down. As soon as she saw the emperor, she cried; As soon as the emperor had a headache for the war in the northwest, he was upset and said a few words to the queen, but the queen was still very aggrieved. Concubine Gong was so

angry that she came to me and cried, “What did she say? The princes all come according to the rules. Yanqin has nothing to say, but I have a lot of things to do.” But who doesn’t know that Zhong Er was born prematurely and weak, and had to burn charcoal every day in late autumn. How can that be enough?

Sister, when you were in charge, you never made the child suffer, but she was on the left and on the right-I think the third son of the emperor is a little bit bad, she made an exception faster than anyone else! Yan Ming now has twice as many Mammy around her as others. Why doesn’t she care about the rules? Is not

not their own do not feel bad, relying on their own mother does not treat the concubine as a person! Still have the nerve to mention Yanqin, the last time I went back to see Yanqin even lack of clothes, a small child was freezing. I couldn’t bear to see it if I didn’t give birth to it! I’m afraid she doesn’t think she has a legitimate son and wants to kill all the other princes. She doesn’t want to see what kind of legitimate son she is. No one knows how she came to be the queen. How many people in the palace look at that foxy trick! The daughter of a small writer, in terms of birth can be compared to which high concubine?

All day long I’d be jumping around thinking how great I was.. I listened bitterly and asked Chengyu to fill her tea from time to time.

Concubine Gong was obviously in a hurry, and she was usually the most cautious. She said some big disrespectful words, but I didn’t stop. I only drove out all the palace people outside Chengyu Lianyu early.

To tell you the truth, what Gong Fei said was very much to my liking, and I was very happy to hear it. It took Concubine Gong

more than half an hour to scold and drink the tea.

Putting down her teacup, she felt a little embarrassed and said, “It’s because I have a bad temper today. I’m so tired that my sister is listening to so many crazy words from me.” I’m so sorry.

“I smiled and said,” Why are you being polite to me? We are in love with each other. When did you come here and I told you the rules?

“I smiled.” But you can say anything here. You can’t talk about the queen out of this door.

“Concubine Gong looked at me with emotion and said,” My elder sister has always been the most virtuous. Who didn’t think of my elder sister’s kindness when she was in the hidden mansion?

As for the child, my sister said that I was really convinced to treat him as my own child.

Big Nannan was saved by her sister when she was infected with the epidemic. I can repay your kindness for a lifetime. The position of the

queen should have been you, when you are the queen, there must be no moths in this palace. I don’t know what the emperor thinks.

“I bowed my head and said,” It’s not that you don’t know. The emperor is deeply in love with her.

It’s been eight or nine years. Aren’t we all under her weight?

“Concubine Gong sneered,” Before I left the cabinet, my mother told me that the prince and Miss Xiao’s childhood sweethearts were better than others, and that you should be virtuous and not eat your heart.. As a result, the childhood sweetheart, who was known all over Beijing, was cut off by her after one year.

Sister don’t hate, the emperor in the end is an affectionate or fickle we do not know?

I have been sleeping beside him for ten years, and I have given birth to two children for him. But how about now?

I gave birth to a clock and hurt my body. He forgot me in a twinkling of an eye. Now even Hu Jieyu dares to oppose me.

“She looked at me.” Sister, you’re not still thinking about him, are you?

My concubine dares to say something she shouldn’t have said. Think about how your child was born.. “Empress, be careful what you say!” Lianyu hurried out.

Gong Fei knew she had made a slip of the tongue and quickly shut up and looked at me nervously.

Child My heart ached, and my face was a little cold: “I haven’t forgotten..” Forget anything. You can’t forget the baby.

But now I have no love and no children, my wife’s position has been taken away, and my body is broken. What else can

I do?

Just waiting to die.

“Perhaps my words were too painful. Concubine Gong was startled. After a while she said,” Sister, do you think your illness was caused by someone else? It’s

finally here.

My heart moved, but my face did not show it at all: “Who wrote it?”? If

the emperor asked me to resign that day, he would not want my life, would he? “It

‘s not the emperor.” Concubine Gong shook her head in fright. “The concubines are saying.. That one, Fengyi Palace.

She lowered her voice. You don’t doubt her?

I can remember that it was the bowl of medicine she served to her sister’s room that Qian Di was forced to protect by the emperor.

You don’t doubt her?

I hung my head in silence.

After a while, I looked up with a tired look on my face and said, “I’m tired. I’ll invite my sister to tea some day.”.

I looked at the expression on Gong Fei’s face, never enduring grief until anger, and finally got up and left.

Lianyu clapped her hands with a smile and said, “That’s a very good move, Empress. Empress Gong has always had a lot of contacts. That’s why you can’t argue with her.”.

“I shook my head with a smile.” I didn’t want to punish her with this, but when Gong Fei asked me, I remembered that my sudden illness was very suspicious in front of outsiders. If we

don’t make use of the topic, we won’t waste such a good opportunity.

“Cheng Yu frowned and said,” Empress, the eldest son of the emperor and the fourth son of the emperor are not really the empress’s instructions to neglect them, are they? “

No,” I shook my head affirmatively. “She has always been so arrogant that she disdains to attack these children, but she really doesn’t care.

Now that the war in the northwest was tight, it was time for the palace to economize. She didn’t know what to think, but she was afraid that the child would be the result of the savings.

I frowned, too. Hongning Palace.. I’m afraid we have no one.

Choose a few loyal and reliable people to see if you can quietly add them to the Yanqin Bell House and take care of everything.

Yan Ming doesn’t need it. He has his own mother to protect him. If we have to stuff people into it, maybe we will make trouble. The chickens and flying dogs in the

palace skipped the New Year.

Needless to say, there were a lot of problems on New Year’s Day: Fireworks accidentally lit the firewood in Yongxiang, the servant who served the banquet on New Year’s Eve sneezed in front of all the ministers, and the Lantern Festival Imperial Kitchen suddenly found that there were not enough walnuts to make Glutinous Rice Balls. It’s just a little thing, but it’s annoying enough. After

the emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother, who had been patient and silent, finally could not hold back. She passed the emperor just after the first month of the lunar year, and it took her half a day to come out.

「…… What a lot of abuse! The servants of Yining Palace couldn’t help laughing when they came to report the time. The emperor was afraid that he was in the wrong, but he didn’t refute a word.

Lianyu grinned from ear to ear.

“Empress!” Chengyu ran in. “The people in front of the emperor said that the emperor went to the Fengyi Palace after leaving the Yining Palace, and there seemed to be another quarrel inside.”.

Now the emperor has come out in a huff and is going round and round the Imperial Garden, as if he were coming to our palace. “Come on!” I quickly dropped the raisins in my hand and hurried to the inner temple. “Come and help me change!”! Where’s the bird?

Ask her to put on makeup, just like the last time she was sick. You all stay here and look sad, like you’re giving me a wake, you hear me?

The emperor was well informed, and soon he heard a report from outside, “The emperor is coming!” Then Zheng Luheng came over and saw a pale face paralyzed on the bed, looking at Xiao Meian, who had only breathed in but not out. Cheng Yu Lianyu, who was waiting on

one side, looked miserable and shed tears when he saluted him.

Why is it so bad?

“Cheng Lu-heng looked really startled.” Has the Imperial Physician come to see you?

“I was dying:” The Imperial Physician comes every day to ask for the pulse. It’s a blessing for the concubines.. ” Then came a series of deadly coughs, which frightened him to touch my back.

I’ll lie down quickly. Don’t touch me, you dog emperor.

“Didn’t the queen say that when you were in good health, you could still go to the front and provoke her..” Didn’t she punish you to kneel?

At that time.. Was it not good at that time?

“As I watched his face grow gloomy, I quickly repaired the knife and said,” It’s the duty of a concubine to pay her respects to the empress. No matter how ill she is, she can’t.. Cough, cough! Cheng Yu hurriedly served me tea, while Cheng Lu-heng said, “Greetings to the empress..” Hsiao Mei-an, aren’t you always the most arrogant? Are you willing to be so humble? Look at all

this nonsense. I’m low and small. Who did this to me? I was so

angry that I gritted my teeth, but I only wept again and again: “Concubines have been taught since childhood to observe etiquette, talk about palace rules, and think about everything for the emperor.” Now you let me be a concubine, I am naturally willing to listen to the empress. But empress, empress, cough, cough, cough.. What happened to the queen?

He asked as he took the decoction from Lianyu’s hand.

The empress is very good. She treats her concubines and the six palaces very well. Don’t worry. With a pair of pitiful eyes,

I drank the decoction he had fed me.

Cheng Lu-heng stared at me as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t have the heart to say it. I was afraid he was questioning how Hsiao Mei-an, who had always liked to talk back to him, had become a different person. But seeing that I was dying of illness, he couldn’t bear to retort. I ignored his searching eyes and said softly, The emperor hasn’t been here for a long time. What are

you doing here?

“Cheng Lu-heng hesitated for a moment, but still made a sound.” When I was in charge of palace affairs, I wasn’t very skilled, and I always made mistakes. Mei-an, you’ve always been the best at what you do. Can you — “Cough, cough, cough, cough!”! Ahem. Cough, cough! I quickly had another series of deadly coughs.

Do you expect me to work for Zhou Yanyan?

I’m afraid it’s to find a scapegoat for the woman he loves.

At the beginning, I was scolded by him when I made any mistakes, and I didn’t ask anyone to help me. How can I take

a thankless job.

In its position to seek its work, Zhou Yanyan wants to be the queen, but also to know that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Zheng Luheng is not good at talking now.

Let a sick seedling work, not to mention the spirit of humanitarianism, I can not do this work.

He suddenly sat down beside me and hung his head. “Mei-an, you’re sick and you’re hiding..” Now there is a mess of things in the palace, the queen can’t handle it well and blame me, the mother blames me, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites in the court does not know where to hear the news that the queen does not speak the rules of the palace and does not sympathize with the mother-child relationship, but also impeaches my favorite concubine.. The war in the northwest is tight, but I can’t live in peace at all. Even in the palace, people are saying that the queen is cruel.. He suddenly stopped.

After a while, he took my hand and said, Mei-an, I miss you very much when you are in good health.

I.. “Cough, cough!” I coughed inappropriately, “I..” Ahem! My concubine’s body is really too bad, wait for the body to raise well, then share the worries for the emperor. Cough, cough, cough, cough! Zheng Luheng: “Mei An..” “Cough, cough!” “You..” “Cough, cough!” “I..” “Cough, cough!” I’m gone.

“Cheng Lu-heng was a little annoyed, but he couldn’t find a reason for the attack on a patient like me.” I’ll come to see you another day.

He strode out with a glass vase at the door.

Bye-bye, and don’t come to see me if you quarrel with the queen some other day.

I quickly got out of bed and moved my limbs.

When Chengyu and Lianyu came to help me, we looked at each other and couldn’t help gloating any more and laughed.

For a time, the palace was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. It was a great pleasure in my life to

see the emperor and Zhou Yan suffer, I thought with a smile.

Out of the first month, all the people in the palace were listless. It was chilly in

spring, but I stayed in the palace all day and caught the cold carelessly.

Perhaps after the emperor came that day, he let out some news that I was seriously ill, and Yining Palace could not sit still. In

February, the queen mother came to see me in person. Unfortunately, I was really sick.

The old lady? What are

you doing here.. Cough, should the concubine go to pay a visit to you, this does not accord with the rule. Startled,

I quickly got up from the collapse.

Sit, sit, sit! You have always been a tough child. How did you become like this? With a look of regret on her face,

the queen mother reached out her hand and pushed me down.

We were relatively speechless and had nothing to say for a long time.

To tell you the truth, I have some complaints about the queen mother in my heart.

I was raised by the empress Dowager, but the empress Dowager was old after all, and many things could not be taught in person, all of which were done by the empress Dowager herself at that time. When I first became the Crown Princess,

I was afraid of making a mistake, and I was also guided by the Empress Dowager openly and secretly.

I knew she was satisfied with my daughter-in-law, but when her son insisted on taking a concubine as his wife, I did not see any strong expression from her.

I have to rule the world with filial piety, if the queen mother must not agree with Zhou Shi, the emperor also helpless.

But the queen mother also has her difficulties.

Zheng Luheng was not a parent of the Empress Dowager, but was born to a palace man, and was recorded in the name of the Empress Dowager at the age of seven.

Because of this layer of Zheng Luheng’s legitimate son identity is not quite correct, the first emperor was also hesitant for a long time when the crown prince.

And my father’s clear support became the direct reason for the late emperor’s decision.

I still remember when my father entered the palace, he said to me, “Meier, you don’t have to worry about anything else in the world. Only the rites and laws of the common people can’t be abolished.”. The eldest son of the imperial concu

bine must not be established. If the concubines are not divided, the throne will not be correct. If the emperor is not correct, the Han Dynasty will be in danger.

I nodded blankly, thinking only of the trumpet flowers pinned on my head when Cheng Lu-heng stole me out to look at the lake on a full moon night.

When I was young, I knew that our Xiao family was loyal to the emperor for generations.

My father and eldest brother were both killed in battle. The second elder brother was appointed to Zhongshu Ling, while the third elder brother was still guarding the border. Even the fourth elder brother, who was not so outstanding, was also working hard in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. I

am the only girl in this generation of the Xiao family, and I have been serving my wife since I was born.

Even when I was eight years old and was admitted to the palace in the name of the Crown Princess, the crown prince had not yet been decided.

And I chose Zheng Luheng, not because he is a legitimate son, but because I have been confused that the friendship of childhood sweethearts is worth entrusting for life.

I am about the same age as Zheng Luheng. When

I entered the palace, he was recognized by the queen mother.

I was reciting the rules of the palace with a bitter face, and he was also racking his brains to read the Four Books and Five Classics.

At that time, it was the happiest time to meet in the Empress Dowager’s Palace.

We complained to each other about the strictness of the master and the strictness of the palace rules.

The adults turned a blind eye to us out of their own calculation. We were best friends

at that time.

It’s just that I don’t know when he had the idea of using me to seize the throne.

He told me that his father disliked him and wronged him in every way, and I believed him. He said that although his elder brother was very popular with the emperor, he had a bad heart and wanted to get rid of his legitimate son.

I used my own methods to create momentum for him and tried my best to speak well for him in front of the late emperor.

Now that I think about it, the late emperor didn’t like Zheng Luheng simply because he was bad and stupid.

I am happy to be his crown princess, but he is worried that the Xiao family is not good for him.

He doesn’t know that my father and brother supported him not because I chose him, but because the royal family chose him.

He was afraid that the Xiao family would pull him down.

Only a person with a bad mind will try to figure out others in an evil way.

I married him for a year and got pregnant; but a new beauty killed my child with a bowl of cold medicine.

Then the beauty was diagnosed with pregnancy, and he told me that it was the woman he had already fallen in love with, and he would not let her suffer any grievance.

At that time, my father and brother had just died in battle, and his body was not yet cold, but he was complacent, killing two birds with one stone, happily waiting for the arrival of his beloved son with Zhou Yanyan.

And now I have been stripped of my only remaining wife. What are you

thinking?

The queen mother patted me and interrupted my memory.

I was startled to realize that I had unconsciously shown my hatred on my face.

I quickly restrained myself. “My concubine was just thinking about her illness.” “Well, Ai Jia watched you grow up, and you still want to deceive me?”?

“The Empress Dowager sighed.” I know you hate them, don’t you?

I am speechless.

If it were me, I’d hate it, too.

“The Empress Dowager said bluntly,” Do you think I will be smooth sailing?

The late emperor has always been cold to me, he likes Shu Fei, Shun Fei, Qing Fei. He wouldn’t look at me twice.

I am worse than you-I gave birth to a legitimate son, but I did not support him.

The queen mother paused, and a touch of pain between her eyebrows was evident.

“I’ve always had a throne, but if I didn’t have a legitimate son, I’d forget it. But even if I recognized the emperor, the late emperor would still rather have the son of Concubine Shu than my son.”.

Isn’t that like hitting me in the face? Don’t

you hate it?

I murmured.

Hate?

I don’t have the ability to hate.

The Empress Dowager looked at the flying geese painted in gold lacquer in the corner of the room. I’m not as good as you. At least I have the Xiao family behind me. What can

I hate?

Not only can I not hate or complain, but I also have to try my best to please the late emperor and teach the emperor’s son. I have no favor, which means that a little mistake may be beyond redemption.

You are much better than me.

Your Majesty, he has feelings for you.

The queen mother patted my hand.

Affection?

I couldn’t help snorting coldly.

The queen mother really has some affection for me, but I’m afraid this affection can’t compare with calculation. How could

she not see what Zheng Luheng was thinking about me?

But she tried her best to bring us together, just for the sake of her son. I can understand all

this, but why should I say such disgusting words at this point?

Is nothing more than afraid of my resentment to disturb the harem, and my background is too thick and easy to move me, can only play such a tender drama to draw.

If I am not Xiao Meian, what is Li Meian Liu Meian, I am afraid that the emperor has not yet ascended the throne on a cup of poisonous wine to die.

I pulled back my hands without a trace. “What the old lady said is right, but the concubine’s illness is unknown. The old lady should not stay here for a long time so as not to contaminate the body of the phoenix.”. Don’t you

even want to call yourself a minister?

“The Empress Dowager was not angry, but looked sad.” Mei An, Ai Jia knows what you are thinking.

I just want to say something from the bottom of my heart to you. I really cherish you.

“She sighed again.” I know you’re complaining that the Ai family didn’t protect your position as empress at the beginning, but the emperor doesn’t know that he’s really to the Ai family.. It’s chilling.

If I am too stiff with him, I am afraid that I am no longer a mother in his eyes now.

Even now, how much can I get involved in his palace?

It’s just a decoration to show filial piety in Yining Palace.

“The Empress Dowager suddenly raised her face.” Mei-an, you must not indulge in hatred and revenge.

This palace is going to be a mess. I know you are happy to stand by, but don’t forget that you are still a part of the harem, not to mention that you have a brother behind you. Who knows what will happen in the future if we

indulge in chaos in the palace?

Don’t wait until it’s too late to regret! Meian, you are always smart, and you will not fail to understand.

“She patted me again.” Now I’m afraid there’s going to be a big mess.

Mei An, the emperor is muddleheaded, the queen is even more mud can not hold up the wall, this palace, as well as the heir, I am afraid it can only point to you.

Good boy, think about it. Then

the Empress Dowager got up and left, leaving me to think in silence.

After a while, Chengyu came in quietly.

Empress?

I looked up with a complicated look on my face.

Chengyu, for the first time I don’t know what to do. Everything will be the same for

the next few days.

I stay at home and just recuperate. There was no more news from

the queen mother.

The emperors and empresses were still noisy, but Zheng Luheng never came to see me again. One day in early

March, the sun was shining.

I was ordering someone to move a reclining chair into the courtyard for me to bask in the sun when I saw Lianyu plunge into the palace gate and say, “Niangniang!”! Nope No, the third son of the emperor! Something has happened to the third son of the emperor! Frightened, I grabbed her and said, “What’s wrong with Ming?”? Make it

clear! Lianyu was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears. “It’s the Hongning Palace..” Also do not know what to send in, three princes all sudden poisoning, of which the third son of the emperor is particularly serious, has. I’m dying already! I was in a panic and hurriedly called out, “Prepare the sedan chair!”! Prepare the sedan chair! Go to the Hungning Palace, quickly! “No one is allowed out!” Suddenly a large group of people came in at the gate of the underground palace, and one of the leading officials came straight up to me and said, “I have received an order from the emperor that the imperial concubine Hsiao is suspected of murdering the emperor’s heir. She has given a special order to seal the palace. A group of people are forbidden to enter or leave the palace gate. Those who violate this order will be killed with a cane.” I watched dumbfounded as they closed the door of my palace and all the servants rushed to the side hall. With a wooden face,

the middle officer bowed to me and said, “Empress, you are suspected now, and you are wronged here later.”.

As for how, can only wait for the emperor to come, and then make a decision.

“He bowed and said,” The slave is impolite.

“7” Bitch! ” Cheng Lu-heng hit me with one hand and made me stagger. “You don’t even spare my children. How vicious you are!” I was in a state of complete confusion, thinking only of Ming’er, and I had no time to take into account the anger of other emperors or my own safety: “Ming’er..” How’s Ming?

I’m going to see him! Do you still have the face to look at Ming?

Zheng Lu-heng knocked me down with another slap: “Pass on my decree. The imperial concubine Hsiao has a cruel heart. Abolish the position and put me in the cold!” He was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at me and said, “If there’s anything wrong with Ming, I’ll cut you to pieces!” The slap woke me up. All kinds of injustices of the

emperor, all kinds of grievances of my resignation.. My long-suppressed anger burst out in an instant, and I pointed at the emperor and shouted, “Zheng Luheng, you can kill me at any time, but now rashly convicting me will only make the people behind me laugh!”! Who are you to say that I murdered the heir?

“Zheng Lu-heng was both surprised and angry.” You ordered the person who poisoned him. What else do you want to deny?

He ordered the people around him, “Why don’t you arrest this poisonous woman?” “I’ll see who dares!” I gave a loud shout, and all the people in front of me were frightened by me.

“Cheng Lu-heng, you’ve eaten too much lard and been blinded by it. I’ve always regarded Ming’er as my own child. If you kill me blindly, you’ll only completely fulfill the intention of the real murderer!”! As an emperor with only this vision, I’m ashamed of you! Then I didn’t care. He was so angry that his face turned blue. “Drive to the Hungning Palace!” He said. …… “Bitch!” As soon as I stepped into the inner room, I saw a madwoman-like Chou Tien-yan rushing up to tear me: “Why did you poison my inscription? Why did you poison my inscription?”?

I want your life! “Go away!” I ignored the courtesy and pushed her out. “I hurt Ming’er?”?

Zhou Yanyan, do you have a brain?

！」 I asked the Imperial Physician directly, “How is the third son of the emperor?”? The Imperial Physician at the

head was in a cold sweat and said, “Your Highness has been seriously poisoned. I have done my best. I’m afraid, I’m afraid..” “Don’t hesitate, just say it!” I was extremely anxious. “Tell me, how long can third son of the emperor hold out?”?

The Imperial Physician fell on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed. “This poison is very fierce. I’m afraid it can’t be cured without a specific antidote. But now I can’t find out what kind of poison it is, so I can’t make an antidote.”.

Now your Highness only relies on the old ginseng to hang his life, if there is no antidote, I’m afraid it’s only these two days.. “Whoo!” At the other end, Chou Tien-yan burst into tears and rushed straight at me: “Bitch, why don’t you tell me what the poison is? Tell me quickly, quickly.” I knocked her over with a slap, and then ordered: “The queen is crazy. Take her down and watch. The third son of the emperor is not allowed to go near the inner hall until he wakes up!” When I saw that the empress was about to protect the Lord, I said, “Take good care of all the people in the empress’s palace. Don’t make trouble!” Xiao Jiasu is a family of military generals. When I was a child, I practiced with my father and brother. Zhou Yanyan was almost knocked unconscious by my palm.

When I saw them being taken down, I hurried to the front of Ming Er. I saw that Ming Er, who was usually full of vigor and vitality, was now pale and his limbs were cold. My

heart was like a knife. “Chengyu,” I said bitterly, “where is the poisoner now?

“I’ve been taken to the palace, and I’m the deputy head of the Imperial Kitchen,” said Cheng Yu. “Empress, can we go and interrogate them now?

“” Go! See if I don’t skin her.

“I gritted my teeth and thought of something.” Lianyu, “I ordered,” go and find out who that man is. I’m afraid it’s not as simple as someone in the palace. By the time

I got to the palace, the man had already been tied up and sent to me for interrogation. It’s funny to say that most of the people in the palace had already received the order that I should be abolished as a commoner, but no one dared to disobey my order. Perhaps it was also because the middle officials in front of me, holding the imperial staff, were too frightened to disobey.

God blocks and kills God and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha — this is my Xiao Meian’s style of doing things.

I ask you, who ordered it?

I asked, suppressing my anger.

Isn’t that you, Empress?

The palace man rolled his eyes and even gave a sneer.

I strode forward and kicked her over, and there was an exclamation all around.

Who ordered it?

I asked, pinching her chin.

The palace man was obviously frightened, but still did not relent: “It was you, Xiao Guifei and Xiao Niangniang who ordered it, you..” I gave her four or five sharp slaps from left to right, and two more fell on her eyes. Without waiting for her to catch her breath, I rained down my fists on her nose, making her cry.

I grabbed her hair in a bun and asked, “Who ordered it?”?

She had been frightened out of her wits and could not stop crying.

Seeing that I raised my fist again, I shouted, “It’s not Empress Xiao, it’s not Empress Xiao..” It was the maidservant’s own idea, and no one ordered it! I was furious, and when I wanted to fight again, Lianyu came and pulled me away.

Empress, calm down. It’s not worth it for such a person.

She whispered a few words in my ear, and I laughed. Shen Yue-niang, right? There are parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, two unmarried sisters, and three nephews

in Hehuatai.

Seeing that her face was gradually frightened, I sneered, “Do you really think that the one who ordered you will make your whole family rich?”?

I’m afraid they will be killed together so as not to be interrogated by the emperor and the queen! That’s me. How long do you think it will take me to get your family into the palace now? In an instant,

her face was ashen. She mumbled for a long time and looked at me and said, “If I say something, can empress spare my family?”?

“It’s not as bad as your family.” I suppressed my anger. “Although I want to cut you to pieces now, it doesn’t affect my understanding that your family is innocent. I

still have a conscience, and I will allow you to say this. If the man behind you — oh, even the child can do it, how can you expect him to spare your family’s life?

She gritted her teeth and thought for a long time, and finally broke down and cried: “Yes..” It’s Hu Jieyu! She promised to give me a thousand taels of gold, and the maidservant answered in a moment of confusion. But she only said that it was the medicine that would make the princes have diarrhea, and the maidservant didn’t know that the medicine was so poisonous, empress! The maidservant did not do it on purpose. She cried loudly and kowtowed, but I gritted my teeth with hatred and shouted to Gong Zheng, “Did you hear that?”?

Why don’t you go and escort Hu Jieyu here? …… When I returned to Hongning Palace with Hu Jieyu, Zheng Luheng was already there.

As soon as he saw me, he said angrily, “Who told you to keep the queen locked up?”?

Who gave you the courage?

My concubine is so timid that she only dares to lock up a queen, but your beloved concubine dares to do it even to the heir of the emperor. Without hesitation,

I nodded and motioned to Zhongguan to throw the man down.

Come on, why did you poison the prince?

“Hu Jieyu wept bitterly and said,” The emperor made decisions for my concubine. Concubine Xiao confessed under torture and let the cheap maidservant bite my concubine.. ” As expected, Cheng Lu-heng was furious: “Hsiao Mei-an!”! You.. “You deserve to be a fatuous monarch. The demon imperial concubine said a few words and believed it. She knew how to do whatever she wanted without looking at any evidence.” I didn’t give him any chance to speak. I let him fly into a rage. I just lowered my head and raised Hu Jieyu’s chin: “You were born in a side branch of the Hu family in Jiangyuan. You grew up in the fief of the King of Changsha.

Because of your status as a noble daughter from a famous family, you have often been in and out of the palace, and have long been engaged with the king of Changsha for life. “I saw that her face gradually darkened.” Unfortunately, your beloved lover wants you to serve his younger brother, the present emperor, and by the way, kill all the heirs in his palace, so as to pave the way for the king of Changsha to usurp the throne. Am

I right?

Without waiting for Hu to reply, I whispered in her ear, “You have a younger brother, who is only three years old now. He is the only male in your father’s line. You might as well guess, is he in my hands now?”?

Or do you think your lover is more important than your brother who has the same blood as you?

Her pupils suddenly dilated, and her whole body collapsed. “All right, I’ll confess.”.

It was I who ordered people to poison and frame the imperial concubine. Shocked,

Cheng Lu-heng looked pained. “How could it be you?”?

Jojo, you’re so kind, how could you.. Where is the antidote?

Take it out! Zhou Yanyan was also frightened, but soon remembered the most important thing.

Hu Shi stared at me, as if he wanted to change a word. “Ming’er won’t die, and of course your brother won’t either,”

I whispered.

She gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind: The antidote is with the King of Changsha, and it is also the poison he gave me.

“She looked at me with a beautiful smile and said,” The imperial concubine’s methods are really vigorous and resolute. If you were the empress, I might not dare to do anything.

You must keep your word, or I, Hu Liqiao, will not let you go even if I am a ghost. Then

she jerked away from the man and crashed into the pillar in the middle of the hall, spattering blood on the spot.

Everyone screamed in unison.

I strolled to her side and saw that Hu was dying.

I said softly, “My sister guessed wrong. No matter how capable I am, I can’t get your brother who is far away.”.

I just happen to know that you have a brother.

Hu’s eyes were wide open, but he died in a moment.

“Go and catch the King of Changsha. Hurry up!” Zheng Luheng smashed his fist into the case.

Can I help you?

I kept an eye on him.

Cheng Lu-heng glared at me angrily, but he relented: “Since you are so good at interrogating, you should come!” Then he left the Hongning Palace in a huff. On the

fourth watch, the king of Changsha was brought here, and he heard that three horses had been killed along the way. Smiling,

I gave him a detailed description of the tragedy of Hu’s collision with the pillar, and added fuel to his rage: “In those days, I couldn’t win the throne over the emperor, but now I think I can sit on the throne with these three abuses.”? Before you

do this, you don’t want to think about the Empress Dowager. She is the lifelong enemy of the Empress Dowager. When you become a rebellious minister, how long can she live? The King of

Changsha’s eyes seemed to be poisoned, and he wanted to eat me alive.

But after a while he laughed and said to me, “What does it have to do with you whether our mother and son are alive or not?”? Is it not good to

be killed by a beloved child and demoted to a concubine? How does it feel to

watch your rival have children and your husband love each other?

Xiao Meian, even if you can save Zheng Yanming, he is not your son.

When he sits on the throne of God, who is the queen mother? If

I were Zhou Shi, then I would order you to be buried.

Oh, no, you may not be able to live to the day when Zheng Luheng dies, don’t you think?

“My smile cooled.” Whether I will live to see the day of my death is anyone’s guess, but you will not. As soon as

the voice fell, Chengyu burst in and reported, Empress! Concubine! The antidote has been found, and it’s in the secret room of the Changsha palace! Did you send someone to search my palace?

“The king of Changsha was so surprised that he almost jumped up.” How can you find the king’s secret room?

“The emperor has sent someone,” I said with a gentle smile. “The people you brought with you, the people in the mansion, first torture them. There are always one or two people who don’t keep their mouths shut. Won’t you find them?

By the way, you thought it was a good idea to poison three princes in one fell swoop, but the eldest son and the fourth son of the emperor were not poisoned at all.

Even if the third son of the emperor dies of illness, the throne has nothing to do with you.

“I got up.” I’m afraid the emperor is coming to personally supervise your execution. If I were you, I would offer a stick of incense to my mother first. The king of

Changsha died the same day, along with the imperial concubine Shu.

I spent the whole night in Hongning Palace, and finally waited for him to wake up.

Ming’er opened his eyes and saw that it was me. He opened his mouth and called out, “Mother..” “Ah!” I didn’t correct him either. I went up to tuck in the quilt and said, “It’s good to have children. It will be all right in a few days. Ah. When

I stepped into the outer hall, it was obvious that the emperor and the empress had just quarreled and were speechless with their backs to each other. Ignoring them,

I walked out on my own, only to hear Cheng Lu-heng shout, “Stop!”! Xiao Meian, are you all right? The crime

of deceiving the king, the crime of disrespect, do you think you just walk away?

“” Or what?

“I turned around and looked at him with my nostrils.” You are so good that you almost connived at the death of your own son.

I ask you, if you put me in the cold that day, is your brother or your son dead now?

“You!” Zheng Lu-heng was angry, but he was in the wrong after all. He held his breath for a long time before saying, “Then you can’t disrespect me and the empress in every way. You should be punished for that.”.

“Good fellow,” I sneered. “I call this the first complaint of the wicked.

You almost poisoned my child, and I haven’t got you yet; who are you to punish me?

“” Your child? The queen, who had been silent

for a long time, suddenly said, That’s my child. Why should I say that the child I gave birth to in October is your child?

By the end, she was almost screaming.

What? In an instant,

I was so angry that I said, “Your child, what face do you have to say that you are your child?”?

You said that Ming’er had been raised in my hands for eight years, and I didn’t even have a headache and fever. I couldn’t bear to break the skin. Don’t you dare to say something?

Now to your mother’s side, this is only a year, almost lost his life! And Qin’er Zhong’er, I haven’t got even with you yet! Two children are sick almost continuously. How did you become a mother?

Ah? How dare

you say it’s your child?

“I didn’t give birth to Qin’er and Zhong’er..” Zhou Yan’s words are justified. ***

me.. I, “I was so angry that I almost lost my mind. I kicked the table in front of my seat.” I didn’t give birth to Ming’er either! Did he suffer a little grievance in my hands?

Ming’er is my child, Qin’er, Zhong’er, and a few girls, all of them are my children! If you treat my child badly, I’ll lift your skull! “Xiao Mei-an!” “How can you talk to the queen?” Zheng Lu-heng snapped. Is this the queen?

Right here?

“I laughed back angrily.” You told me to respect the empress, but you respect the empress yourself. Everyone inside and outside the palace knows that you love to quarrel with the empress. That’s really — “I said in a long voice.” The harp and the lyre are singing in harmony! ” Zhou Tianyan seemed to be scolded silly by me, and his eyes were staring at the front; Zheng Luheng was so angry that he could not speak. With a sneer,

I walked out of the palace.

The next day, I heard that the emperor was called by the queen mother again.

Heard that Ming son accident that day the queen mother also wanted to rush over, but the old man was anxious to faint on the spot, until wake up just as the king of Changsha arrested, she went directly to give the death of the imperial concubine.

The emperor came back with a dusty face. On the same day, he made me an imperial concubine and was responsible for raising the emperor’s heir. When I received

this order, I immediately moved out of the original side palace and went straight to live in the Hongning Palace. After Ming’er’s accident, I wanted to watch them all the time so as not to have another accident.

The empress has been ill for two months, and the day before, when her son Yeh Chieh-yu went to take care of her, she said that she had lost a lot of weight.

Now the palace power can fall into the hands of the elder sister.

Although you are only an imperial concubine, who in the palace is not convinced that you are the master of the harem? Holding Zhong Er in her arms,

Gong Fei smiled at me with a contented look on her face.

I also smiled: the first thing I did after I took charge of the palace was to restore the system of visiting the mother of the emperor’s heir every three days, and told them in private that it didn’t matter whether it was three days or not, as long as I wanted the child to come at any time. I have

six children, and I have to be in charge, so I can’t help but look at them.

Ask the mother to watch from time to time, always more carefully than my foster mother.

“I laughed and touched Zhong’s little head.” What a lucky boy! When the poison was put into the milk that the princes used every day, Zhong ate only a little and vomited.

And Qin, I didn’t eat it.

Isn’t it a blessing in disguise? Concu

bine Kung was delighted. Chung Er caught a stomach bug for a while because she didn’t burn enough charcoal, and she vomited whatever she ate. Chin Er was even worse, because her cotton-padded clothes had been buckled and she had a cold, so she didn’t eat at all.

The two brothers escaped the disaster.

“Gong Fei smiled sarcastically.” Do we have to thank her?

“I smiled and did not speak. I only lowered my head to check my account book and said,” The Fengyi Palace has only used more than 200 taels of medicine this month, except for the decoction.

This is not in line with that man’s temperament.

“I think her heart is dead,” Gong Fei chuckled. “I heard that she had a big fight with the emperor about the third son of the emperor. What man likes a woman like a crazy woman?

What’s more, now it’s not the exhaustion of heart and mind, the decline of color and the relaxation of love. Concu

bine Gong put down the bell and whispered to me, “I think my sister’s good days are coming. Even if she doesn’t die, the whole palace belongs to her. If she dies, aren’t you a legitimate queen?”? No matter how stupid

your majesty is, he will not be confused in such a matter.

“How often has he been confused?” I said lightly, feeling sick at the thought of being Zheng Luheng’s queen.

I sighed, “Chou’s words are abominable, but they are not so guilty.”.

Let’s just live a good life. What will the emperor think? Who cares. I’ve been busy reshaping the palace rules

all summer. The old people in

the hidden mansion were very happy when they learned that I was back in power, and they were eager to support me every day. Although

the newlyweds were used to bad habits, they were cleaned up by me in a few days.

The queen mother was also happy and called me to Yining Palace to chat and support me. At the command of the Empress Dowager,

the emperor came down to the Hongning Palace to look at me and said, “Mei-an, it was I who refused to live with you that day..” Your Majesty, please go back. I can’t afford to serve you here. Holding Zhong Er in one hand and the third daughter of the emperor in the other,

I rolled my eyes at Zheng Luheng.

“Mei-an,” Zheng Lu-heng knew he was in the wrong this time and didn’t lose his temper. “But the testimony did point to you at that time, and I didn’t make a random arrangement..” What the testimony says is what it says? Can’t

you use your brain?

“I rolled my eyes to the sky and ordered someone to take the child down.” I really don’t believe that you didn’t mean it, but you can figure out the truth by moving your toes. Boy, you and the queen jumped on me one by one, not to mention, it’s really a match made in heaven.

“I tried my best to put up with the foul language.” Please go back. I’m afraid you’ll be poisoned if you sleep here for a night and say I did it.

My concubine’s life is so cheap that I can’t afford it.

“Xiao Mei-an!” Zheng Lu-heng was finally embarrassed by what I said. “I give you face, and you really kick your nose on your face?”?

Even if I wronged you, but you see your arrogant style in those days, how can you look like a concubine! This great crime of disrespect.. “Come and come, come and go, I said,” I saved your.

“You..” He was surprised that I didn’t give him any face. Just as I was about to make a sound, I cut him off at the right time. “Didn’t you hear me, Your Majesty? I’m not serving you here. You’re hard of hearing.”?

I don’t serve you, or do you have to stick it here with your face?

“Cheng Lu-heng was finally angry with me.” Well, well, the daughter taught by the Hsiao family is so virtuous and virtuous? Are

you pretending to be confused?

I laughed at myself. “Virtuous and virtuous, was I virtuous enough when I just married you?”? How did

you repay me for my virtue?

“I sneered.” From now on, I have nothing to do with the words “virtuous and virtuous.” If you want virtuous and virtuous, go to the queen. But

Cheng Lu-heng’s anger disappeared in an instant, and he did not move for a long time. Just as

I was about to speak again, I heard him murmur, “I..” I miss you very much when you first entered the hidden house.

At that time, I had just been given the title of crown prince, everything in the house was in good order, and you were considerate. It’s just that I brought it on myself.

You can have a rest.

He led people away, and his figure seemed to be somewhat dispirited. Surprised,

I turned to Chengyu and asked, “Your Majesty, what’s the matter? I’m afraid there’s something wrong with the former court.”?

“Chengyu lowered her voice and said,” The maidservant just heard the news that General Xiao has returned to court.

“” Really?

I am overjoyed.

Now General Xiao is my third brother, Xiao Juean. He has been in northern Xinjiang and has never returned to Beijing since his father and eldest brother died in battle. Did

he go back to the Hsiao Mansion? How long will you stay

this time?

Chengyu shook her head and said, I don’t know, but I heard that the emperor called General Xiao back this time because the war in the northwest was really tight, and he wanted to send General Xiao to the front.

But general Xiao in the court directly handed in the soldier amulet, saying that the godsister is not good, was disliked by the emperor after all, he did not deserve to be a general, please take the post to return home.

I heard that he gave the emperor a lot of face.

“It’s more than that!” Lianyu ran over and answered, “At that time, Zhongshu Ling also stood up. He first scolded the general, and then said that he was not worthy of Zhongshu Ling even if he had such a younger brother and sister. He begged for the skeleton directly.”.

One after another, the emperor panicked and repeatedly appeased him, saying that the empress should naturally be the queen, but that she was not in good health and resigned from the throne.

“” And then?

I was overjoyed and asked for follow-up. The

general immediately answered and said, “Is the imperial concubine still in poor health?”?

It is said that the imperial concubine did not hear of such three diseases and five disasters when she was not out of the cabinet, but now it must be that God does not recognize Feng Ge and punish her for disasters.

Then he also has no face to be a general, hurry to retire and return home, the best emperor to waste the imperial concubine to them away, lest the Xiao clan in the capital make the ancestors unhappy. The emperor was in a panic, and his words were not neat. He said frankly that the imperial concubine was already in good health, and it was nonsense to be punished by heaven. As a result, the general was not polite, saying that the imperial concubine was in good health, but the empress was not in good health, and the empress would like to resign?

The emperor was so confused that he couldn’t answer a word. Then the next court came to the empress.

I couldn’t stop laughing.

My third brother has always been unscrupulous, but I’m afraid the Zhou clan has no place to live now.

I am gaining momentum here, and the queen is naturally getting less and less. By

the time of autumn, I heard that the queen was already in a serious condition, and there were some bad signs. Although

Zheng Luheng visited him from time to time, he heard that he quarreled bitterly as soon as he went. Every time the emperor left in anger, the empress urgently summoned the imperial physician.

We won’t get involved. Fengyi Palace will take as much medicine as they need and use as much medicine as they need. We don’t care about anything else.

I gave orders to my servants.

In the winter, I heard that the queen’s health was getting worse.

One day I was enquiring about Ming-erh’s homework when I heard someone report, “Empress, Fengyi Palace has summoned you.”.

“I frowned.” We haven’t lost her anything in this time, have we? No

, right?

Seeing that Cheng Yu and Lian Yu were also shaking their heads blankly, I was even more surprised: Then what else do I have to say to her?

But the maid of the Fengyi Palace knelt down to me and said, “Empress, please go over..” I’m afraid the empress can’t get better, and now I’m just going to say a few words to you. Although the empress doesn’t deal with you everywhere, she really doesn’t have a bad heart! Please go over.. I really believe that Zhou Jianyan has no bad intentions, but a fool sitting in a high position is really bad.

I sighed and said, “In that case, let’s go and have a look. I scolded her for her illness.” Even though she asked for it.

I walked slowly into the Fengyi Palace.

Once, when the Empress Dowager still lived here, I often came to pay my respects. The Empress Dowager took me to count the things in the palace and said, “They will all be yours in the future. Don’t lose them.”. I don’t live here

now, but I’m so familiar with all the furnishings. When

I stepped into the inner sanctuary, I heard a hoarse voice saying, “Here you are.”.

The voice startled me: Chou’s voice was the most beautiful, but it was also very popular with the emperor.

But who is lying on the collapse now? The beauty who

once made Zheng Luheng fall for it has become a handful of bones, and her eyebrows and eyes show her old age. Even Gong Fei, who is three years older than her and has two children, is much younger than her.

I was so frightened that I forgot for a moment about my enmity with her. “What kind of disease is this? How can it be so bad in only half a year?”?

Chou laughed at himself, but a tear fell from the corner of his eye: What disease? It’s just a

heart disease.

She waved to me. Why are you so far away from me? A

dying man can’t hurt you.

I sat down on a stool in front of her bed, but I didn’t know what to say.

After a while, she was the first to say, “I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to get through this year. When the time comes, the emperor will certainly make you queen. Ten years have passed, but I still can’t compete with you.”.

“I frowned.” What time is it to think about this?

I never wanted to argue with you, and I don’t want you to die now.

“I looked at her for a moment and whispered,” Don’t you think it’s so good to be a queen now?

But Chou Kun-yan laughed, and his laughter was rather sad. “Not good, not good at all — Hsiao Mei-an, why do you think I have to be this queen?”?

Power?

Richness?

No, I just want to be his wife, the only person in the world who can stand side by side with him.

But what about him? How did

he treat me?

Tears came rushing down.

The emperor is so stupid, how do you see-I endure this sentence.

Chou turned to look at me and suddenly said, “Do you think you’re his childhood sweetheart and he loves you the most?”?

He and I met in the street before the wedding, Glutinous Rice Balls for Lantern Festival the Lantern Festival, I ran away from the bun, he personally with me on the plate. He swore to marry me, but he turned around and married you, whom he hated most. I’m not reconciled! Why. Why are you the daughter of the Xiao family, so you can enjoy everything of him? Although

I come from a low background, I am the one he loves most. I am his first wife! I watched her hysterically in silence.

When she finished gasping for breath, I whispered, “Now I don’t think it’s a good idea to be my favorite, do you?”?

“She finally cried,” But when I became queen, everything changed! There are so many palace affairs, so complicated. He never understood me, the queen mother made things difficult for me everywhere, and the concubines opposed me everywhere. And he has a new lover! As early as when we got married, he promised me that he would be a couple for life. He had you in the hidden mansion, and you gave birth to one after another, and I put up with it; but why did he have to accept a new concubine when he was already the emperor?

Why?

With what? Do you believe

such nonsense?

“I was surprised at her stupidity.” Not to mention whether you are as affectionate as the sea, a monarch must have three palaces and six courtyards to extend his children.. Don’t you understand?

You look at the spring thing, if the king of Changsha is successful, it is a wave of three princes killed. Can

you give him three more princes?

Even if you can live one after another, how can you guarantee that everyone will live to be crowned?

Monogamy is only a folk story. How many monogamous emperors and empresses have you seen in history? What happened to them?

Chou was at a loss for words, apparently never thinking of this layer.

After a while, she gave a sad smile and said, “I’m really convinced by the poisoning of Ming’er.”.

You’re right. How did my mother take care of the child? If

you hadn’t sacrificed your life to help me, Ming would have died.

I don’t deserve to raise Ming, really.

But his father.. What does his father look like?

Hu’s bitch has confessed herself to him and still doesn’t believe it. If it weren’t for your good tactics, he would have let Hu run away if he had tried him! I do not speak, she can understand this layer is not easy.

But she struggled to get up and said, “Hsiao Mei-an, I’m dying, and Ming’er is entrusted to you.”.

I beg you.. Please don’t be angry with him because of my birth mother. When I die, you can put him in your name as you like.

I am useless as a mother. Please protect him to grow up safely. Then he

wanted to kowtow to me.

I quickly supported her.

Zhou Yanyan was already dying. He was afraid that he would fall to the ground and die on the spot. When the time came, he would say that I had murdered the queen and I couldn’t wash it. You

don’t have to tell me, I’ve always regarded Ming’er as my own.

Ming’er is a good boy, and I naturally love him.

“I know, I know,” said Chou Tien-yan, smiling from the bottom of his heart for the first time. “I hated you earlier and thought you had taken my place. But now I realize that you are really a good person. As if suddenly thinking of something,

she suddenly grabbed my hand and said, Hsiao Mei-an, I’ve never harmed you.. It’s true that I hate you, but I didn’t match that bowl of medicine. Zheng Luheng asked me to send it to you, but I didn’t know what it was! I never meant to harm your children, I swear to God! She made a gesture to swear, and I quickly stopped her.

This is what I have known for a long time.

Zhou Yanyan is a fool, not good, but never vicious. The

really vicious one is now sitting in the Qinzheng Hall.

And your illness is not caused by me. The palace said I drugged you in order to take your throne, but I didn’t! I I never wanted to kill anyone! She clung to me and continued, and I quickly stopped her. Do

you know that if you get too excited and die in my arms, I will be miserable, aunt. When she

finally calmed down, I was speechless with her again.

Finally, I spoke first: “If I had been the queen and you had been the imperial concubine, you would have had a good life.”.

The empress is Xiaojun, the mother of all the people in the world, and she has never been able to do a good job with the emperor.

Now your illness.. Are you arguing with him because he wants to destroy you? With a wry smile

, Chou Tien-yan said, I really can’t hide anything from you.

Yes, he wanted to destroy me, and he said that I was always considerate and he would understand. What nonsense! He can’t do it himself. The emperor provoked the courtiers, but he asked me to take the blame?

I said I was dying, and he couldn’t wait for a few months? What did

he say? What the courtiers want is his attitude. Only by abolishing me can we calm the public anger. Wasn’t he the one who set me up?

I’m afraid we’re not only going to be ruined, we’re going to be given death! By the end, she was in tears.

I looked at her quietly and said for a long time, “Now that you have come to this step, why don’t you ask yourself to be abolished? He can’t give you death. You can still earn some reputation from the courtiers.”. Ming’s identity will also look good

at that time.

“She shook her head.” I’m already a demon queen. What do you care about reputation?

As for Ming, I have already thought about it.

If you don’t have children, your name will be changed on the jade plate.

“” Impossible.

“I shook my head repeatedly.” Since you knew that Zheng Luheng had drugged me, you knew that he couldn’t let me have a child.

Now Ming’er is the most popular candidate for the crown prince, even if it is a palace maid to be his birth mother, it is better than me, Xiao’s daughter.

Do you think, “I smiled bitterly,” that I won when I became queen?

I don’t want to be the queen for a long time. It makes me sick to think about him. It was rare

for Chou to reach an agreement with me on one thing, but she reached out and grabbed me and said, “For the sake of the child, I beg you to be the queen.”.

」…… In December, Zhou Shi, who had been the queen for more than a year, was deposed, and I was made the new queen. In

the twinkling of an eye to the first month, Zhou Yan died of illness.

I ignored Zheng Luheng’s strong opposition to the big funeral — if for no other reason than to disgust him, not to mention the birth mother of Ming’er. When

Cheng Lu-heng came to me in a huff, I just looked at him coldly and said, “Don’t you feel guilty that your lover of many years has died?”?

“His expression stagnated, and then he said,” She has nothing to feel guilty about?

“I sneered,” Do you think I believe that a quarrel with you can lead to life-threatening illness?

Zheng Luheng, poisoning his wife for his own self-interest, I really look down on you.

His face suddenly swelled like a pig’s liver. Hsiao Mei-an, don’t talk nonsense! Do you think I dare not destroy you?

“You really don’t dare,” I chuckled. “It’s immoral to abolish the queen. You’ve abolished two empresses in a row. Let’s see what the world will say about you, your father?

“Zheng Lu-heng was so angry that he could not speak. Looking at me, his expression became sinister:” I just need your Xiao family because the western front is tight recently. When the rebellion of Xidi is put down, you wait for me to deal with you.

“Well, I’ll wait,” I sneered. “Xi Di pacified and North Hu, South Yi.. Where do you get the ability to think we don’t need the Xiao family?

Unless you have the ability to win the world on horseback like Emperor Taizu, but if Emperor Taizu dealt with this matter of Xidi, it would not be delayed for two years, so what are you talking about?

“Zheng Lu-heng was so angry that he jumped to his feet and said,” Well, well, if you dare to challenge me as soon as you are granted the title of empress, I don’t think your Xiao family is going to turn against me! ” Don’t you know that the Hsiao family is the most loyal?

“I chuckled.” It’s only because you treat the sister of a loyal minister like this that you chill the hearts of your brothers. Don’t you understand?

“I went straight to the edge of the collapse.” Please go away, your Majesty. I’m going to bed.

Zheng Lu-heng stormed away.

Chengyu came to me and said worriedly, “Empress, isn’t this too explicit?”?

“My face was expressionless.” No problem. Tell him to recognize his position earlier.

I’m really too lazy to make false promises to him.

“Let’s have a rest soon,” I ordered. “Tomorrow I’ll have my wife to go to court. Maybe I’ll see my brothers again. I have been my father’s favorite prince

since I was a child, and my mother’s concubine is his favorite concubine.

My mother told me that she was beautiful and of noble birth, and that her father had chosen her as the Crown Princess.

But the queen mother insisted that her fate was incompatible with her father’s, so she chose her mother, who was born far below her.

But what does that matter?

The mother imperial concubine has always been the person on the tip of the father emperor’s heart, even the son is the eldest son of the father emperor, just pressed a legitimate son.

For as long as I can remember, I have seen my mother fighting with her queen. If

the mother has any will, the mother is always the first to take the lead.

Even so, the mother did not dare to speak out, because the father turned to the mother.

In this harem, it seems that Shu Fei is the eldest.

But the mother and concubine have been unhappy.

I asked her why she always frowned, and my mother told me that I could not become a prince with my second brother.

I said, I work very hard, and I have always been more liked by my father than my sick second brother. Mother

and concubine touched my head and said, no way, as long as the legitimate son is there, the prince can not fall on the head of the concubine.

Later, the second brother died.

Mother and concubine are very happy.

But not long after she was happy, she was unhappy again.

I know, because the mother recognized the third brother as her own son, and she had a legitimate son again.

The mother and concubine hate the mother and the third brother.

I hate the third brother, too.

The third brother is the child of the maid of honor. For

a long time, our brothers have ignored the existence of the third brother, because he has no mother and concubine, and he is dirty and unlikable all day.

Father doesn’t like the third brother either. I’ve never heard him mention this brother.

But this little dirty boy suddenly became the child of his mother, and his position was more noble than mine.

Do I want to see such a prince who is far inferior to me become the crown prince?

I’m not convinced.

Her mother was also unconvinced, and she always spoke ill of her third brother with her father.

The father didn’t like the third brother, and he didn’t want to make him crown prince.

But my father didn’t make me crown prince.

I also have a fourth brother, a fifth brother and a sixth brother who was born.

They are all likely to be loved by their father.

No, this must not happen. The daughter of the

Xiao family came to the palace.

My mother told me excitedly that she was the Crown Princess of the Empress Dowager.

If she insists on marrying you, won’t you be the crown prince?

The mother’s eyes were full of light.

I was surprised. How can

I, the son of heaven, get the crown prince by the relationship of a woman?

That would be humiliating. When I

went to the Empress Dowager’s Palace to pay my respects, I met the girl of the Xiao family.

She was not very beautiful, but the corners of her haughty eyes often let out a cold light that made people tremble. Dressed in a red dress,

she sat upright, and somehow she had the dignity of a mother.

When I stepped forward, she didn’t squint as if she didn’t see me.

You don’t salute the prince?

I’m a little angry. No one in the

small palace has dared to disrespect me like this. Is it the courtesy of a gentleman to rush in

without being informed?

She still sat up and read, never taking her eyes off.

I was even angrier. “You’re a little civilian girl. What qualifications do you have to talk to this prince about the etiquette of a gentleman?”?

Might as well talk about the ceremony of the monarch and his subjects, so still want to be the Crown Princess?

I think any maid of honor has better manners than you.

She put the book down, looked at me, and suddenly smiled.

I had never seen a woman with such a bright and flamboyant smile, and for a moment I was a little flustered or shy, and I refused to admit it.

But the next second she stared at me word by word and said, “Is Your Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, questioning the decision of the Empress Dowager?”?

Since your Highness felt that the civilian women did not deserve to live here, she could go back to the Empress Dowager and let the civilian women go to the palace instead of bullying others and making trouble out of nothing.

My face turned red, and for a moment I couldn’t think of how to refute it, so I fled from the Yining Palace.

Far away, I still felt my cheeks burning, but my heart was more and more restless. Didn’t she know that she might be my wife in the future?

Why are you so rude to me?

I hate Xiao Meian.

I didn’t listen to my mother’s words to cultivate feelings with her.

On the contrary, when we met occasionally, we laughed at each other and fought bitterly.

Every time I was so angry that I even went back to think about how to deal with her after she married me.

No, what qualifications does such a rude person have to be the Crown Princess.

I thought angrily, but I blushed uncontrollably.

We’re all grown up.

I was busy learning to be a prince with both civil and military skills all day long, while she was detained by the queen mother to learn the way of being in charge of the palace.

I was more and more liked by my father. At that time, I felt that the crown prince was bound to win.

I began to tamper with my younger brothers: the sixth brother died early, the fifth brother and the seventh brother were still young and very naughty, and I did a little, and this naughtiness turned into naughtiness. After they got into trouble, they were granted the title of king and vassal by their father early, and their fiefdoms were all far away in the frontier; But the fourth younger brother is a strange character, in the royal family, he and his mother concubine are thinking of the dust: I heard that the true imperial concubine went to the Buddha before she entered the palace, and after giving birth to the fourth younger brother, she became a monk, and even the fourth younger brother had no earthly heart at all.

I quietly sent the fourth brother into the temple, and when the father came, the fourth brother had finished tonsure, so angry that the father said there was no such son.

But I didn’t notice that my third brother, who was always shorter than me, secretly hooked up with the Xiao family.

Xiao Meian took the matter of letting my fourth brother go to my father.

The court also sought to establish a legitimate son with great momentum.

Probably never thought that his favorite son would secretly plot against his brother. In a rage, my father made me the king of Changsha and drove me to the vassal state.

It’s all over.

I saw that Zheng Luheng was given the title of crown prince, and I saw that he married the girl I had read all the time when I was young. Seeing that

he was put in an important position by his father, seeing that he was fully fledged.

I hate the prince, I hate Xiao Meian.

I heard that the crown princess had a miscarriage, and the crown prince had a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty.

I heard that the beauty gave birth to a son and was given the title of Crown Prince and Concubine.

And the Crown Princess is out of favor. At this time,

I had nothing to do in the palace of Changsha, and I played every night.

Her unhappiness can only add to my after-dinner conversation as a joke when I drink with my subordinates.

I’m not worried about her. I’m not. I talk to myself

when I’m drunk.

I’m not married.

I am too preoccupied with the cause of revenge to have time for love.

In other words, I have never seen such a flamboyant smile.

Until I saw Hu Liqiao.

She is a side branch of the Hu family in Jiangyuan and the niece of the current head of the family. The Hu family

in Jiangyuan had few people, so she was raised by the main branch when she was young.

That day she came to the palace with her uncle and aunt for a banquet. When she saw me, she smiled at me, and my heart missed a beat.

I told the head of the Hu family that I wanted her to wait on me.

Hu Jiayang’s side daughter was originally to climb the dragon and attach herself to the phoenix, and if she could climb up to the palace, she would naturally make no loss.

I took her with me during the day, taught her to serve people with color, and taught her royal intrigue; I sent her back to the Hu family at night, in order to deceive people.

My father died, and when he was dying, he did not call me to see him.

My good brother is enthroned.

He didn’t make Xiao Meian queen. I couldn’t help laughing at

the news.

Xiao Meian, what a proud person, how can she be so humiliated? I’m afraid

she’s not going to kill herself right away, I said to Lijo with a smile.

She didn’t kill herself.

She’s sick. She’s dying.

I should have gloated.

Wang Yeh is not happy?

Li Qiao grinds the ink for me.

No, not at all.

I waved my hand impatiently.

Is it because of Xiao Guifei?

She could not see joy or anger, but looked at me.

What about Xiao Guifei? If only she had died earlier.

I said in a fit of pique.

Then I realized something was wrong and quickly adjusted my expression. “We don’t talk about her, Lijo. I just want to please you.”. As expected,

Cheng Lu-heng held a big talent show.

Father, this is your good son, who has been busy expanding the court for less than a year.

I said to the moon, and then I looked back. “Jo, it’s time.”.

I gave her the strongest poison, which I got at a high price from a bewitching master in Miaojiang. Not one of

his children will be left.

Liqiao, when I ascend the throne, our good days will come.

But I finally missed a step: she would treat her rival’s child as her own.

Li Qiao failed, and was defeated by her. When I

sat in front of her, I knew that everything could not be reversed.

She always knew that neither my mother nor I would be left behind, and even if I had children, it would not change anything.

I looked at her face contorted with hatred and suddenly smiled: “So what if I win? How has she been better all these years?”?

Keeping such a husband, how can she feel better?

I satirized her: “Is it not good to be killed by a beloved child and demoted to a concubine?”? How does it feel to

watch your rival have children and your husband love each other?

Xiao Meian, even if you can save Zheng Yanming, he is not your son.

When he sits on the throne of God, who is the queen mother? If

I were Zhou Shi, then I would order you to be buried.

Oh, no, you may not be able to live to the day when Zheng Luheng dies, don’t you think?

“She replied coldly,” No one can say whether I will live to see the day of my death, but you will not.

No-that’s not true.

I also want to ask, at that time, you really did not have the slightest thought to marry me? Have

you ever thought that I would not fall in love with others like him, that I would not spoil my concubine and destroy my wife like him? Empress! Concubine! The antidote has been found, and it’s in the secret room of the Changsha palace! It’s too late. So what if you

don’t ask? I can’t see

your future path. On the first day of

the New Year, Zheng Luheng and I sat side by side to receive the court meeting of the civil and military officials and the women of internal and external life.

The phoenix crown and phoenix robe add up to dozens of catties, which are useless except for the solemn and gorgeous appearance of the empress. It’s really boring to stay with a boring person

in a boring dress. Fortunately, I can receive an audience with my family alone after the celebration. After the

ceremony, I went to the main hall of Fengyi Palace and waited behind the screen.

Not long after the footsteps of someone entering, I heard a rich male voice: “My humble minister, Xiao Yan-an, see the empress.”.

“” Why bother with such empty courtesy? Smiling,

I ordered the screen to be removed. Second Brother, how is the house these days? Why didn’t

the third brother come?

“My second brother was a little unhappy and said,” Empress, I’m afraid it’s not right for you to remove the screen.. ” I didn’t care at all: “Isn’t that what I used to see in the East Palace?”?

And no one said anything.

“After all, the East Palace is no better than palace, and the empress has just regained her position as empress, so you should be more careful..” “Niang, second brother, are you separated from me?”?

“I was quite upset.” The days in this palace are already enough. Why do we have to talk more about these empty courtesies in our own family?

“Mei’er,” the second elder brother was quite helpless. “You still let your temper go. Didn’t the emperor insist on not making you a lesson before? It’s not the Xiao Mansion in the

palace. Although the emperor is your husband, he is also a monarch. You have to follow him in everything. That’s not what he said earlier.

Suddenly a hearty voice came in.

A man with a big beard strode forward and grinned at me. “Meier, the letter this guy wrote to me before was called every word of fire. He scolded the emperor boy for coming home to bully our sister Xiao. I was so angry that I went to Beijing to find Zheng to settle accounts.”. It’s good to talk about the emperor this

time. Don’t listen to his nonsense.

“He bowed to me with his hand.” Is the empress all right?

My eyes dimmed with tears. “Third Brother, how have you been in the north these years? Now..” I choked up and couldn’t go on.

The third brother was also quite moved. “It’s been ten years, Meier, and you’ve grown into a big girl.”.

“I giggled.” I wasn’t a big girl ten years ago?

Are already married.

I looked at my two brothers and was filled with emotion.

The second brother, Ren Zhongshu Ling, was not so bad, and he could at least see each other every year. The third brother was stationed abroad all the year round, and he had not seen each other for ten years.

Ten years ago, when my father and eldest brother were suddenly killed in battle, the second brother had just reached the crown, and the third brother was only a teenager, but they carried the Xiao family together.

Now who will despise Xiao because General Xiao is not here? There is no need to say how much hardship the

second brother and the third brother have suffered.

Third Brother, why did the emperor suddenly call you back to Beijing? After

the pleasantries, I came straight to the point and asked, “Don’t say you want to come back voluntarily. I know the emperor is going to send you to the northwest front.”.

What emergency made the emperor abruptly transfer the defenders on the North Hu defense line to the northwest?

The third elder brother was speechless. He thought for a while and then said slowly, Mei-an, I’ll tell you the truth: The situation in the northwest is very critical. Just as

I was waiting to ask again, I heard the third elder brother scold me, “How could the late emperor still care about that thing of the Western barbarians?”?

This Dynasty they did not flutter for a few days, to the hands of the emperor is good, two years can not be pacified, but the more noisy the more happy! A bunch of dog thieves, wait for your Grandpa Xiao to come over and see how I clean up.. The second elder brother quickly persuaded him to stop. Then he turned to me with a wry smile and said, “I’m afraid the emperor wants to go on a personal expedition and let Jue An escort him.”.

“I was startled.” Has it come to the point where you have to go on a personal expedition?

“Actually, no,” said the second brother helplessly, “but the war is really not optimistic.

The emperor may want to use this to make military exploits to deter foreigners.. “Nonsense!” I said angrily, “He just wants merit, regardless of the fact that the emperor is not in the capital and the prince is not standing, and there may be trouble.” Has the emperor made up his mind?

“The third elder brother said angrily,” Yes, it’s just a fold. I’m

not saying that I can get things done with more soldiers, but I have to. Hey, don’t say, can’t talk about the king. Do

you talk too little?

The second brother glared at him, and the third brother rolled his eyes and closed his mouth.

Then the second elder brother looked at me again and said, “Meier, if the emperor insists on going on a personal expedition, this palace will probably be your regent.”.

“I frowned.” Although the prince is young, isn’t there still a queen mother?

He has hated me for a long time, and I’m afraid he won’t let me be regent.

The emperor hates the queen mother even more.

“The second elder brother said in a low voice,” He is a self-willed man who has never believed in anyone who has helped him, no matter the queen mother, you, or the Xiao family.

The empress Dowager was not born in an aristocratic family, and she had no experience in discussing politics before, so she was afraid that the court would not accept her as regent.

Even if the emperor refuses, you are the only one who can take charge of the court.

We discussed something more, and it was time for the courtier to retire. Just as

I was reluctant to part, I saw my second elder brother saying, “Meier, I have something to say to you alone.”.

The third brother smacked his lips discontentedly and walked away.

The second elder brother asked me with a solemn look on his face, “Meier, the third son of the emperor..” What do you think?

“I thought for a moment and said,” Ming is intelligent and steady, but not as stupid as his mother. Compared with

Qin’er’s cowardice and Zhong’er’s naughtiness, Ming’er is indeed the best child.

“The second elder brother nodded,” I’ve heard that the emperor intends to make the third son a reserve, and now it seems that it’s really reliable.

I rolled my eyes. That’s because Ming’er is Chou’s child. Now that Chou’s son has been rejected by him, I don’t know if he still wants to set up Ming’er.

The second elder brother thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at me and said, “Your Highness, the third son of the emperor, is eight years old this year?”?

“I nodded.” I’ll be nine in February.

Mei-an, Wen-er is already eight years old, and she can be arranged to go to the palace.

My heart missed a beat.

Xiao Wen is the eldest daughter of my second brother. Although I haven’t seen her these years, I often hear her read it.

Into the palace?

Repeat my old way. Wen-er is still young, so I’m not in a hurry now.

I prevaricated.

Not so young, Mei-erh. That’s how all the Hsiao’s daughters come over.

Great-aunt, aunt, and you.

Wen’er should fulfill her responsibilities as the daughter of the Xiao family. I felt a chill in my

heart.

In each generation, there was a daughter of the Xiao family who entered the palace. My great-aunt, Empress Zhuangqu, died inexplicably after giving birth to the late emperor. My aunt, Concubine Hui, lived only two years after she became the late emperor’s favorite concubine. I never even saw her.

And I, a queen who was rejected by the emperor, was a winner on the surface, but in fact?

The days of wind and frost in the palace, this shameful place. Does Wener deserve to walk like this once?

But the second elder brother stared at me, “Meier, as the daughter of the Hsiao family, she was born to enter the palace.”.

Yes, this is a sentence I heard my father repeat when I was a child.

Born to enter the palace, can not escape, can not escape.

I heaved a deep sigh. “Second Brother, you can arrange it. When the time comes, I’ll mention it to the emperor.”.

Just out of the first month of the lunar year, Zheng Luheng issued a decree to go on a personal expedition. Not surprisingly, he asked me to supervise the country. On the first day of the

second month, the emperor and General Xiao led the army out of the city to the northwest, and I led the imperial concubines to see them off. During

this period, Zheng Luheng never looked at me. The life of the

supervisor is not as busy as I imagined. There is my second brother in the

capital, and there is no big event. Every morning,

I took the eunuch to review the memorial in the Qinzheng Palace, and in the afternoon, I returned to the Hongning Palace to teach the princes and princesses.

Of course, there is one more now, my niece Xiao Wen.

Wen’er is almost exactly the same as I was when I entered the palace: the same arrogant heart, the same love to wear red.

I will teach her how to be a qualified queen.

Just like I am now.

Without the emperor, the harem was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. The

charming little concubines no longer had the object of fighting, and often gathered together to eat melon seeds and play leaf cards.

Into the summer, I also saw in the Imperial Garden in a few small noble fighting grass. They ran away in fright when they

saw me, and I didn’t bother to pursue it.

After all, they’re all teenage girls, and there’s no need to sit around all day.

If there is anything slightly bigger, that is, Ye Jieyu is happy. There

‘s nothing unusual about that. After

Hu’s death, Ye Jieyu was the most favored, and it was only a matter of time before she had a son. After I

got the letter, I arranged to raise the fetus according to the usual practice, and the other concubines also made a gesture to express their congratulations.

Only the queen mother was so happy that she took Ye Jieyu into the Yining Palace to live with her.

Mother, this is against the rules.

I advised her.

“What are the rules?” The Empress Dowager said to me impatiently. “If the Ai family lives with her, they live with their grandson. The six grandchildren of the

Ai family, all living in the Hongning Palace, did not come to accompany the Ai family.

The emperor is not in the palace, don’t you ask me to find someone to accompany this old bone?

It seems that the Empress Dowager is going to raise Ye Jieyu’s child herself.

I am not good to persuade, after all, the queen mother these years is really hard, the first emperor in the time to see her more than a glance is not willing, now finally come out, the adopted son is not filial. What else can

I do?

Can only let her, anyway, Ye Jieyu live in Yining Palace, I am also happy to save trouble.

The year passed quickly. Every month

I receive reports of battles from the northwest, all of which are ordinary news or small victories.

In November, I received a letter from my third brother.

Seeing that he was a little anxious, he said that the situation in the northwest was more serious than he had expected, and that it was very difficult for Di people to collude with the dogs in the southwest.

More importantly, the emperor often did not listen to advice and insisted on fighting. Although he did not say anything in the battle report, he had actually lost several battles. Fortunately, it was not a big defeat and did not hurt his vitality.

Now he and several lieutenants are in trouble to think of countermeasures, hoping that the war will turn around next spring.

“I knew that the imperial expedition was not reliable,” I said to Chengyu with a headache. “His ability can only be a drag on the third brother. In the twinkling of an eye,

it is the twelfth lunar month. The arrival of the

Laba Festival also added a little joy to the lifeless palace.

Early in the morning, I presided over the distribution of Congee with Nuts and Dried Fruits to the full palace, and at noon I had time to pay my respects to the queen mother.

As soon as she entered the palace, she saw the queen mother and Ye Jieyu sitting and talking, and Ye Jieyu’s belly was already very big.

Counting up, I’m about to give birth. I don’t know if it’s a prince or a queen?

I asked with a smile.

Yeh Chieh-yu blushed and touched her stomach. “I wish I was a little princess.”.

“The daughter is sweet,” the Empress Dowager said with a smile. “The Ai family also wants another granddaughter. Smiling,

I was about to speak again when an imperial eunuch suddenly rushed in and hurriedly saluted the Empress Dowager and me, saying, “Empress, the slave has something urgent to say to each other.”.

I was startled, and when I looked up at the Empress Dowager, she looked grave for a moment.

“Let’s go down first,” Yeh Chieh-yu said, raising her hand. Then she ordered, “What’s the matter? Speak quickly.

“This..” The officer was obviously sluggish and looked at me hesitantly.

I collected myself and said, “If it’s about the emperor, it doesn’t matter if the Empress Dowager is here.”. Then

the officer knelt down with a splash and said, “Empress, General Hsiao is in a hurry to report that the northwest has been defeated. Your Majesty..” The emperor is missing! “Empress, Empress Gongfei asks to see..” “No,” I said, sitting stiffly in the inner hall of the Fengyi Palace. After a while I threw a teacup out. “What time is it! Let them all live well in their own houses, so that nothing will come their way. It had been an hour since Yining Palace had received the news of the emperor’s disappearance.

The queen mother immediately fainted, and I had no time to take care of the queen mother, confused and unable to sort out a clue.

“Empress,” said Chengyu softly, “sealing the palace at this time will cause the whole palace to feel uneasy.

“I froze for a moment and said,” Indeed.

Years ago, let them do everything as usual, and never let the former court see the clue.

“Cheng Yu timely reminded,” Empress, Concubine Gong is still waiting outside. When I

asked her to go back, she said I was dizzy and uncomfortable and had rested.

I rubbed my head irritably. I’m really not in the mood to greet them right now.

Lian Yuxin took a teacup and poured a cup of tea. With an unhappy look on her face, she muttered, “Empress, isn’t it good for the maidservant to see the emperor lost?”?

So that no one gets in the way of General Hsiao.. What do you know! The emperor’s fate is now unknown, and the foundation of the country is shaken. The northwest is eyeing covetously. If the emperor finds it back, it’s okay. If he can’t find it back.. Ming’er is only nine years old! Even the oldest, Chin’er, is only eleven years old. The Lord is young and the country is in danger. When the time comes, people in the capital will be in a state of panic. The whole place will be beset with internal and external troubles. What can I do? I was so angry that I pounded it hard. “That dog, I wish he would die early!”! But he must die to cause me so much trouble! “In that case,” Lianyu rolled her eyes and came forward. “We might as well think that the emperor has died in the northwest.

As far as the maidservant is concerned, even if the emperor is still alive, he won’t be able to get it back for a while. It’s going to be a mess. Even if he gets it back, the general will hold you back.. Yes.

Tears gradually climbed up my eyes, Zheng Luheng lived these years, how many torments I suffered, how many grievances I endured?

If he dies, I will be the queen mother, and no one can bully me anymore.

It’s just that Ming’er is still young.

I’ve thought about it, but it’s still not right.

“If there is peace in all directions, it will be all right. If your father dies, the people will surely be thrown into chaos. The new king is too young to convince the people, and I am not his mother..” When the news gets out, it is bound to boost the arrogance of the Di people and destroy the prestige of our army.

Don’t you still have Lord Hsiao and General Hsiao?

“Lianyu wondered,” With the empress and Hsiao, who dares to disobey?

“Consorts monopolize power,” I shook my head. “Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been cultivating his own power and opposing the Hsiao family everywhere. Although that group of people has not yet become a trend, it will take so many years for Ming’er to grow up, and the Hsiao family is really dominant. If they are

not careful, they will bear the stigma of “holding the emperor to command the princes”.

“I had a terrible headache.” But what better way?

This matter. I have to consult with my mother.

」…… The next day, I heard that the queen mother had woken up and rushed to the Yining Palace, regardless of her possible weakness. In

the inner room, the queen mother sat wearily on the couch and looked at me.

Yeh Chieh-yu’s child vaguely knew something, and now she was so anxious that she came straight to me with a big belly. If it

goes on like this, sooner or later the fetus will move.

The queen mother sighed.

Mother, Mei-an said something she shouldn’t have said. The baby in her belly doesn’t matter anymore. What matters now is Ming’er.

I’m burning with anxiety, and I don’t care whether I’m an heir or not.

Mother, now that the emperor’s life and death are unknown, shall we hurry up to help set up Ming’er?

“I thought the Empress Dowager would get angry, but she hid her face and cried,” Mei-an, look, look at the son that the Ai family has worked so hard to raise all their lives! The husband is not benevolent, the father is not kind, the son is not filial, the monarch is not virtuous.. His father treated me harshly for half a lifetime, and I endured humiliation to ensure that he became the crown prince-I thought I had come through! What does he do instead?

Must engage in that Laoshizi imperial expedition, left himself in the northwest frontier fortress! What hope do I have?

Mei-an, what hope do I have?

“I quickly stepped forward to wipe away her tears and said,” You still have grandchildren. Mother, Ming’er is your own grandson. He only knows you as a grandmother.

No matter how hard it is, there is still my son. My son has been taking care of you in the palace since he was a child. He is also half of your daughter.

“I soothed her for a while, and when I saw that the Empress Dowager had gradually calmed down, I said again,” Empress, it’s not too late. It’s time for us to make plans as to whether we should wait for news from the emperor or support the new emperor.

Support the new king.

“The Empress Dowager was so decisive that I was surprised.” He can do whatever he wants, but the country can’t be without a ruler for a day! Who knows when the emperor will be found? In the midst of

war and chaos, it’s still a matter of whether we can live or not. She turned her eyes and stared at me. “Mei-an, you don’t want him to be the emperor, do you?”?

“I felt a little guilty, but I still looked at the queen mother and said,” Mother, forgive me for saying something disrespectful. The emperor’s character is really not suitable for you.

“The Empress Dowager looked at me with a wry smile and said,” Look, we made a mistake together! Why did you fall in love with such a cold-hearted man as your husband at that time?

“I smiled bitterly,” Why did you choose such a stupid man as your son? The Empress Dowager and

I looked at each other with a wry smile and began to cry together.

Cry for our fickle husband, cry for our childless life.

After a while, we were all tired of crying and were relatively speechless.

“Ming’er is not fit to be the new king,” the Empress Dowager said suddenly. “In terms of etiquette and law, the Chou family has been deposed. He is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son. He should also be appointed as Qin’er. But Qin’er has followed his mother’s submissive temperament. It is really not a great achievement.

That’s all right. The key is that Ming’er is really too small to convince the public.

Now the northwest is not optimistic, right?

If they learn that the new king is young, they don’t know what will happen.

But what better way is there now?

“I said worriedly,” The emperor has no adult children.. ” “But the late emperors did,” said the Empress Dowager, with a bold look I had never seen before. “There were also several adult princes.

“I was stupefied and hesitated.” Mother, are you talking about King Zhuang Lang and King Cangxi?

It’s just that their fiefdoms are far away and they haven’t returned to Beijing for several years. If they are recalled rashly, I’m afraid it’s suspicious, right?

Besides, each of them has a wife and a son, and then.. The two of them were ambitious. At the beginning, they were punished by the late emperor to go to a remote area because they had committed a crime. They were not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict.

“The Empress Dowager’s eyes were sharp.” Naturally, they won’t stand. Otherwise, let alone Ming’er, there will be no place for us. “The meaning of the

queen mother is..” I suddenly thought of someone, “It’s not going to be..” “Master Tai yuan of the Qing Dynasty,” the Empress Dowager nodded to me. “The fourth son of the late emperor became a monk more than ten years ago, so he was never granted the title of king.

His mother, the real toffee, is also a monk. Her mother’s family has no influence and will not pose any threat to us.

The most important thing is that he has no earthly intentions and will not marry and have children.

He can accept Ming’er as heir, Ming’er is a legitimate prince, and then accept the Zen throne when he is an adult. No one will say anything more.

“But he’s a monk,” I exclaimed. “Monks are still secular emperors. This is even more unconvincing than Ming’er’s succession to the throne!”! And after all, he is an adult prince, how can we be sure that he will always do what we want? Don

‘t worry, I know the real princess and her son very well.

The Empress Dowager patted me and chuckled. Lu Xun used to be the favorite son of the late emperor. He was gentle and intelligent, and the late emperor wanted to make him crown prince many times.

This is why after the King of Changsha let him become a monk, the late emperor immediately rejected the eldest son of the emperor.

It’s a pity that he has an unreliable mother.

I have never understood that the real imperial concubine did not want to become a monk, so that her son was also devoted to Buddha.

We’re not going to tie him up for the rest of his life. When Ming’er grows up, he can go back to be his master immediately.

The Empress Dowager looked sure. The real concubine owes me a favor.

She won’t refuse to help.

Twelve years ago, everything was calm in the court: I celebrated the Little New Year and the Lunar New Year’s Eve, and pretended that nothing had happened during the emperor’s personal expedition in the northwest, and I accepted the congratulations of the civil and military officials alone.

I kindly told them that the war in the northwest was going well and there was no need to worry.

But secretly it was not calm at all: Master Taiyuan of the Qing Dynasty was forcibly carried out of the temple, and when he arrived at the rear hall of the Qinzheng Hall, he was so frightened that he cried all the time. It was not until the true imperial concubine passed that he calmed down. Is

this really the prince preferred by the late emperor?

I am ashamed. It’s

just that he’s weak. The late emperor liked this kind of child.

The queen mother’s face was expressionless. She has rarely shown any expression

since the adopted son she devoted half her life to was forcibly sentenced to death by us. It was

nearly half an hour before the real toffee came out. She sighed at us and said, “I’ll do as you ask, but..” Just say it. It doesn’t matter.

I whispered reassuringly.

When the northwest is pacified and the affairs of the state are stable, he will abdicate. The

true toffee looked at the queen mother.

This.. I’m afraid not?

Repeated changes of monarch are of no benefit to the government. Good.

“I didn’t expect the Empress Dowager to open her mouth and promise to come down.” It’s just that he wants to be a good emperor during his reign. He must not act recklessly and harm the foundation of the country.

“The true imperial concubine heaved a long sigh.” Sister, you know we two will never ruin your business. It was you who saved

my son’s life, and now it should be used by you.

“The queen mother’s tone softened.” Lanzhen, you know me. If it hadn’t been for such a thing, I wouldn’t have thought of it. After

that, you just practice with peace of mind, and the new emperor will respect him as an uncle. The

real toffee nodded and went down with a slight salute.

I stared at the Empress Dowager, who stared at me for a while and said, “Mei-an, it’s your turn to do the next thing.”.

」…… I wanted to wait until February to announce the death of the emperor, but I didn’t know that the situation was pressing: Xidi was so fierce that even the third brother was unable to do what he wanted to do, so he gave up three cities one after another. When the

battle report reached the capital, some people were in a panic.

The third brother said that there were spies in the army, and that Xidi had learned of the emperor’s disappearance. When the

second elder brother entered the palace, he said to me, Mei-an, it’s not too late. We have to hurry up and help the new emperor ascend the throne. On the sixteenth day of the

first lunar month, I suddenly summoned my officials and announced that the emperor had been seriously wounded in the northwest and was unable to save the day.

Fortunately, before his death, he left a secret edict, ordering his younger brother, the only one in the capital, to return to the secular world immediately, and to grant him the title of Emperor Taidi, who would ascend the throne immediately after his death and avenge him for the great disaster in the northwest.

Then Zheng Luxun came forward with the secret order forged by me working overtime and sat on the throne of the emperor.

At this moment, my second elder brother immediately led the ministers of his faction to bow down and shout long live, and the rest of the ministers with confused faces had no choice but to bow down. At this point, the change of imperial power was completed, and the new monarch was established.

The empress Dowager is still the empress Dowager, not only that, but also the invisible leader. As the emperor’s sister-in-law, I am somewhat embarrassed. The new emperor honored me as the empress of Yuhua, and returned to Hongning Palace to educate the emperor’s heir. The fact that

the new emperor was a monk and returned to the secular world caused a great uproar in the court, but Zheng Luxun said on the first day he went to court that he would take the children of the late emperor as his heirs, so the officials did not care: anyway, the late emperor left several sons, and the country must have successors, so what are you worried about?

Let’s worry about Sidi. Another thing that is

not a big deal is that Ye Jieyu died.

Ye Jieyu died after giving birth to a child.

People in the palace told me that she suffered from metrorrhagia during childbirth because of excessive anxiety.

He managed to save his life, but as soon as he heard that the late emperor had died, he fainted on the spot and was not saved directly.

Fortunately, the prince is safe.

I took the baby in swaddling clothes.

This is Zheng Luheng’s fifth son. When

the Empress Dowager came to see him, she stroked the little prince’s head and said, “The mourning family has exhausted all their efforts to raise their son. I don’t want to spend any more time raising my grandson.”.

The child has no mother, so it’s better to put it in your name.

“I shook my head.” What would Ming think?

I’ve figured it out. Just be a childless queen and treat all the heirs equally. That’s good.

Apart from taking care of the children, I often go to the Qinzheng Palace to see the new emperor.

Zheng Lvxun was a fairly reliable emperor, at least dealing with political affairs, and doing nothing else in his spare time, just knocking on wooden fish and chanting sutras in his bedroom.

Everything is done according to the wishes of the Queen Mother and me, and the two most common words are, “What is the opinion of the Queen Mother?”? What is the opinion of

the emperor’s wife?

The queen mother was pleased with him.

But sometimes I couldn’t help being surprised and asked the Empress Dowager, “Is this the favorite son of the late emperor?”?

I think the deposed Changsha King is better than him.

The boy is pretending to be confused. He knows that both mother and son have to live under our hands, so he goes along with everything. If he had no intention of turning to the Buddha, he would be made crown prince and designated to be stronger than late emperor.

The queen mother only said lightly.

In early autumn, there was a letter from the third brother. In the

letter, he bluntly lambasted Zheng Luheng for a series of idiocy when he led the army, and expressed his contempt for Xidi: he said that Xidi was shocked when he learned that the new king had ascended the throne, and the morale of our army was greatly boosted.

Now that the intention of victory is obvious, there must be news of victory in the near future.

Sure enough, there was a great victory in the beginning of winter, and the lost three cities had been recovered.

The third brother said in his letter that although he was afraid that he would not be able to come back this year, he was expected to return to Beijing for the Spring Festival next year. The officials and common people

in the capital were happy, and the uneasy atmosphere at the beginning of the year disappeared.

Tell the third brother not to go too far. This year’s harvest is not very good. After two more years of fighting, the treasury will have bottomed out.

I said to my second brother. The

tension eased and I relaxed. In my

spare time, I often accompany Ming’er.

Now my main task is to teach Ming’er and Wen’er, but I always don’t want to see Wen’er more, because when I look at her, I always think of myself, of the innocent Xiao Meian, not the Bodhisattva who was widowed at a young age.

Will Wen’er become the second queen mother?

Or the second Yuhua Empress? After

my father left, my mother lost a lot of energy.

One day Ming looked at me and said worriedly.

Is there?

I raised my hand and stroked the side of my face, only to realize that my cheeks, which had always been full, were now deeply sunken.

I hastened to ask Chengyu to bring the bronze mirror, in which my once shining eyes had revealed the decadence of a dead fish’s eyes.

I am only twenty-eight years old, and this is my twentieth year in the palace.

I fled back to the house in confusion and rummaged through boxes and cupboards to find the portrait of Zheng Luheng on the eve of his marriage at the age of sixteen.

At that time, I was in high spirits, thinking that I already had everything that women in the world dreamed of — but I didn’t know that the so-called lover was the wolf who gave me all the suffering, and that the splendor and wealth were the iron rope that tightly wrapped around me. It took

me twelve years to endure all this, to spend almost all my life in this shameful place, to spend the best years of my life.

Empress, don’t be oversensitive.

Chengyu came in to comfort me. It

‘s not oversensitive, Ming’er is right.

I opened my eyes wide and smiled, but tears kept pouring out. Chengyu, look, for more than ten years.. I’ve hated him for more than ten years. I spent all my energy hating him, setting him up, and now I’ve finally won.. Chengyu, no one can hurt me like that.

But what am I left with?

I’ve been eaten out of my bones by this palace. Cheng Yu, my life, this tone, in the end is for what? “

For the sake of the child, for the sake of your elder brother, for the sake of all the relatives.” I don’t know when the Empress Dowager actually came in. “The Ai family wanted to see Ming’er, and I heard that you suddenly went back to the house.

Not to mention you, me, my mother, and all the queens have come through this way.

She came up and took me in her arms and put my head on her lap.

The husband is heartless, the concubine is unrighteous.. Those who could not endure it would become useless like the Chou family, and those who could endure it would only be honored, worthy of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and a person mentioned in the history books.

I don’t know how many times I’ve cried like you. My days were harder than yours. I had no family background, no children, the queen mother ignored me, and the emperor hated me. But in the end, I’m still standing here. Where is the imperial concubine who used to press me everywhere?

That Zhou Jianyan, from the crown prince side imperial concubine is sealed for the empress, how long has she been free? There must be something to look forward to in

life, Mei An. When the Ai family was queen, they were looking forward to the late emperor’s accession to the throne, and now they are looking forward to Ming’er growing up.

Now the country is stable and the government is peaceful. Isn’t that good?

As for the others, we are not blessed in this life.

A ray of sunlight came through the window and fell on my hair.

The Empress Dowager stroked my head gently and said softly, “Look, Meian, the sun is coming out.”.

(End of text) (Ah ha! I didn’t think it would be over if I didn’t rebel and didn’t proclaim myself emperor.) But seriously speaking, in my heart, Xiao Meian in the palace itself is a very sad thing, or in other words, the life of a woman in the palace is a tragedy (except for a few emperors who love her very much).

Xiao Meian was originally a very intelligent and energetic girl, if she had the chance to marry a favorite husband and teach children, but she was sent to the palace as a family chip.

In fact, she won in the end, but will she be happy if she wins? It is impossible for a heart that has been devastated for

more than ten years to suddenly be relieved.

But it doesn’t matter, she still has decades of retirement life, if there is no accident (draw the key point), she can raise the children and then watch the children give birth to children and then play with grandchildren, but more people like her in the palace, they can only die alone or miserable.

The following is Fanwai 02. Fanwai HappyEnding? In the third year of my retirement from the position of queen, Xidi was finally pacified, and the third brother led his troops back to the court to celebrate.

At this moment, the world is peaceful and the national prestige is greatly enhanced. It is rare for me to take a complete rest and enjoy my retirement life.

“Empress, Empress!” That day when I had nothing to do and was teaching some girls how to make trouble, I suddenly saw Chengyu running in with a nervous face. Then she bent down and whispered in my ear, “Empress, Emperor..” The late emperor is back.

“What?”?

I immediately threw down the half-formed rope and left quickly, ignoring the surprised eyes of my daughters. Lianyu followed me nervously at the

gate and said in a low voice, “I found him at the Sushun Gate in the southwest corner. I was telling the old man guarding the gate that I was the Son of Heaven.” Fortunately, our people found out.

I don’t know how I slipped into the inner palace, but I’m afraid there are some trusted followers in it.

The key is whether the adults in the court know about this, and we have to check it later. Where are the people now?

“” In the rear hall of the Xuanshi Hall.

The emperor doesn’t know, does he?

Empress, the emperor is now worshipping the Buddha in the Qinzheng Hall, and sending him to the Xuanshi Hall is not asking the emperor to meet him. Where is

the queen mother?

The Empress Dowager is ill and has not yet reported it. Don’t tell the queen mother

yet. I’ll take care of everything. As I

spoke, I raised the curtain and entered the Xuanshi Hall.

I turned to look into the hall and saw a shabby, unshaven man turning to look at me. I looked at him steadily for a long time, as if I didn’t recognize the husband I hadn’t seen for three years. Then suddenly I laughed at the top of my lungs until tears kept crawling over my face: “Ha ha ha ha..” Zheng Luheng! You’re still alive. You’re still alive! Chengyu Lianyu hurriedly supported me left and right to prevent me from falling down because I was too excited.

Zheng Luheng sighed very calmly, and his voice was very vicissitudes of life: “Meian, I didn’t expect to meet you again.” In the past three years, I had a narrow escape from death before I returned to the capital.

You don’t have to.. Don’t get too excited.

Why, does he think that I am glad to see him again?

I stretched out my hand trembling and pointed at him, but I could only laugh and could not say a word. “I’ve figured out a lot of things along the way,”

he continued. People often say, ‘When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, he must first suffer his mind. In the past three years,

I have suffered a lot that ordinary people can’t bear. When I can’t bear it, I think of the great achievement of Emperor Taizu, who was buried under the pile of dead people in the world of ice and snow, and almost survived by drinking blood. Heard that now has a new emperor?

“He looked at me with a surprised look on his face. He smiled and waved his hand.” Don’t worry, I won’t blame you.

Now I already want to understand a lot, when my life and death unknown, you set up a new emperor also good shock Hu Lu.

My smile is long gone.

At this point, he thought the throne would be kept for him? How on earth did

his brain grow? I was so

surprised that I couldn’t speak, so he went on, “Thanks to many people, especially Xu You, I couldn’t have entered the inner palace without him.”.

After waiting for me to restore, prepare to set up the right Zhongshu to give him an official, let your elder brother also help my benefactor for me. And Uma.

His face gradually softened, and he reached out and grabbed a woman.

Just now I didn’t see a young girl in a robe with dishevelled hair beside him. With a frightened look on her face, she covered her stomach with one hand and was pulled forward by Zheng Luheng with the other: At the beginning, I was seriously injured and almost died in the northwest. Thanks to the help of the Uma family.

I saw that she was tender and served me very well, so I took her with me, and now she is pregnant.

“He looked at her very tenderly.” I’m going to confer the title of Concubine Zhuang on her to comfort her along the way.

It was a big joke.

I finally couldn’t help pointing at him and sneering, “What are you talking about?”?

Now the new emperor has been on the throne for three years, and the government is stable. As for you, “my voice trembled with the joy of revenge.” It has been three years since the first emperor died against the enemy.

Zheng Luheng, you are already a dead man! What else do you dream about?

“” What? With his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly open,

he looked at me blankly. “Mei-an, I’ve been married to you for more than ten years..” “Don’t call me Mei-an!” I interrupted irritably, “Hsiao Mei-an has been a widow for three years, and you’re still..” The Meian who married you at the age of sixteen?

“I leaned close to him, laughing a little.” Now only the emperor’s sister-in-law, Empress Yuhua, is left. Who are you?

Zheng Luheng, you don’t really think there are people in this palace waiting for you to come back, do you? Your wives and concubines, your mother, all wish you were dead long ago! You.. No, my mother won’t. Cheng Lu-heng murmured in a trembling voice with empty eyes. As soon as I tossed my sleeve, I didn’t give him a chance to talk nonsense: “Let’s drag it down and deal with it. Be careful to keep the noise down so that no one will find out.”.

Besides, you know what to say and what not to say, and you should be careful.

I waved my hand, and several people rushed up from both sides to hold down Cheng Lu-heng. Without waiting for him to exclaim, they gagged and tied him up.

His eyes were splitting and he stared at me as hard as he could-and then he was dragged down by the strong guards.

This is my last impression of my husband.

There’s no need to report it to the Yining Palace. My mother is softhearted.

Go to arrest that Xu You for trial, and arrest the other henchmen.

I rubbed my sore forehead and looked at the frightened and trembling woman.

Accompanied by Zheng Luheng for three years, and pregnant, it is reasonable to say that should not stay.

But I can’t bear it after all, just, at least make it clear to her.

Uma.. Is it?

As you can see. The father of

your unborn child is a fatuous monarch who almost buried the country at the hands of Sidi.

Are you from the frontier? You can’t stay in the

capital. If you want to live, I can send someone to send you home, but you can’t have the child. If you don’t want the child.. You know it in your heart. Take

your pick.

The girl stared at me, and for a moment I wondered if she understood what I was saying, but the next moment she pulled a dagger out of her bosom. Lianyu hurriedly jumped in front of me, but saw that the woman had no intention of attacking others and stabbed herself in the neck.

The blood is pouring.

Through the woman who slowly fell down, I seem to see the young and lively Zhou Yanyan when he first entered the hidden mansion.

I walked up to her bones and seemed to ask her, as if I were asking myself, “Chou Hsueh-yan, Yeh Chieh-yu, and you..” He was so good that you all lost your lives for him? The servants

on both sides came forward to pick up the bones and blood stains, while I hid my face and left with Chengyu Lianyu.

Along the way, my footsteps were somewhat superficial, as if I had just had a big dream, in which I met my sweetheart, then I was betrayed and hurt by him, and finally I killed the heartbreaker myself. In

a trance, I saw myself being lifted up on the wedding night, happy and sweet. Not just them, but me. How could

I not be the one who was willing to give everything for him?

“Be careful, empress!” I was awakened by a stumble, and Chengyu was looking at me with a worried look on her face.

With a wry smile, I said, “I’m only a little over thirty, but it seems like my whole life is over.”. In

the next life, I do not want pearls and jade, nor do I want power and position. I only wish to have a bosom friend. Three meals and four seasons are enough for this life.

Such a simple wish, it is a pity that this life is hopeless.

03. Xiao Wen One I have always felt that my aunt doesn’t like me since I entered the palace.

I told my father about this feeling, but my father said that my aunt was my own aunt and had no children, so she could never hate me.

Wen-er, my aunt and we are a family, and we all belong to the Hsiao family.

The father said firmly.

I don’t think so.

Although my aunt had no parents and children, she was much closer to several princesses, the eldest son of the emperor, the fourth son of the emperor, the fifth son of the emperor, and especially to my fiance, the third son of the emperor.

My aunt belongs to Zheng from the bottom of her heart, I think for sure.

But I didn’t dare to tell my father, because he would blame me for talking nonsense.

To tell you the truth, I have always admired my aunt. Mammy, who

taught me, once told me in a tone of great admiration that my aunt had been condescended to the imperial concubine by the crown prince, but returned to the position of empress in just two years.

If it were a woman on the other side, she would have collapsed long ago. How could she still have the spirit of an empress.

Said Mammy with an adoring look on her face.

I worship, too.

If I had been so humiliated, I would have been mad. How could I endure the day when the late emperor rejected Zhou.

But I admire the aunt after the death of the late emperor.

The emperor respected his aunt very much, although she was only his sister-in-law.

In fact, the government was basically decided by the queen mother and her aunt, and the queen mother became more and more lazy because of her health, so her aunt was the actual controller of the court.

This is the duty of your Hsiao daughters. When

I talked to my father, he told me, Marry into the heavenly family, shoulder the responsibility at the right time, and ensure the glory of the Hsiao clan. This is what your aunt did, and what you should do.

I am happy to take on such a responsibility.

From an early age, I have been extremely yearning for my father who galloped in the imperial court.

Xiao Ting and Xiao Ji can take part in the imperial examination in exchange for fame, but as a woman, I have only one way to enter the palace.

But I don’t think my aunt wants me to be her daughter-in-law at all.

Besides, her adopted son doesn’t want to marry me.

I’m talking about the famous third son of the emperor, Zheng Yanming.

He is my mother’s favorite son and my future husband.

When I entered the palace, my father said, “I want to enter the palace early to cultivate feelings with the third son of the emperor.”.

I was brought up by my aunt, which meant that I was a childhood sweetheart of the third son of the emperor, and he would love me in the future.

Father thinks well.

But I don’t stay with the third son of the emperor at all. How can I cultivate feelings?

The fact is that Zheng Yanming doesn’t like me, and I don’t like Zheng Yanming either. When

I was thirteen years old, a great event happened: the emperor, who had been a marionette for four years, decreed that the third son of the emperor should be the crown prince, and then abdicated to practice.

My future husband was enthroned as emperor.

I, on the other hand, was still nothing: neither a prospective empress nor a prospective imperial concubine. I had no right to stay in my aunt’s Yining Palace. My aunt had been promoted to be the empress Dowager, and the former empress Dowager had become the empress Dowager and lived in the Yining Palace. I didn’t feel anything

at first, and I should still eat and learn.

Anyway, the new emperor was only fourteen, and the princes had to wait until they were sixteen to get married. That was still early, but the father didn’t want to. He went to urge his aunt: “Emperor Taizong got married at the age of twelve, and now the emperor and Wen’er’s marriage should be settled..” The emperor is still young and childish. What are you worried about?

I’m not afraid to get married so early and lose my fortune.

I saw my aunt slowly clasping the octagonal dragon pattern.

Then I was caught by Aunt Lianyu when I was peeping on the door. She dragged

me to the side hall and closed the door. Then she poked me on the forehead with a finger and said, “How can there be such a lady who listens to people in the corner every other day?”?

Wait for me to reply to the empress, you must be severely punished.

“I made amends with her with a cheeky smile:” Aunt Lianyu treats Wener the best. How can she complain to her aunt? I swear, I swear this is really the last time. Your adult will forgive me.. ” With a straight face, Aunt Lianyu asked, “Is this really the last time?”?

I quickly pointed to the sky and said, “Really, really, really, or I, Hsiao Wen, will take my aunt’s surname..” Lianyu burst out laughing. “You’re really good at joking. The maidservant was originally a slave of the Hsiao family, so naturally her surname is Hsiao. You are.” She seemed to be in a trance. “Your ingenuity is really the same as that of the empress in those days.

This reminds me of a question I have always wanted to ask but have been afraid to ask.

I grabbed her by the corner of her coat and said with an ingratiating smile, “Auntie, tell me, I’ve always heard that my aunt had deep feelings for the late emperor, and that it was my aunt who insisted on marrying the late emperor. Is that true?”?

Aunt Lianyu put away her smile and said, “Don’t mention it. When the late emperor was still a prince, he came all day looking for the empress in the boudoir. He either passed letters or objects, coaxing the empress round and round.” How can a girl who is not out of the cabinet know this?

I thought the late emperor was really in love with the empress, but I was tempted.

Come to think of it, the late emperor was afraid of the same thing about Zhou Shi, so he didn’t mention it.

She kept waving her hands, and her face was full of disgust.

But as if remembering something, she added, “The little emperor of today is different. The little emperor grew up under the watchful eye of his maidservant. His heart is very mellow. Although he looks like the Chou, his temperament is not the same at all. He looks like the empress’s own son.”.

“She sighed.” Miss Hsiao, you’re much luckier to meet such a husband than empress. Are you

lucky?

I don’t think so. Uh-huh on

my face, but I sighed in my heart.

Three, Zheng Yanming and I really have no fate.

He was in the Hongning Palace, and I was in the Fengyi Palace. Later, when the late emperor died, I was in the Xuanshi Hall, and he was still in the Hongning Palace. Later, when he ascended the throne, he was in the Qinzheng Hall, and I was in the Yining Palace. The

palace is so big that it’s hard for us to meet face to face, not to mention childhood sweethearts.

Of course, it’s not like we don’t see each other all the year round. On holidays, when the children in the palace are all playing together, he always nods to me and says, “Hello, Miss Hsiao.”.

On weekdays, when my Mammy urged me to send something to his palace, he would meticulously take it and nod, Thank you, Miss Xiao. When

he was ill, I ran over to look at him, and he would always lie in bed and nod feebly to me, “Miss Lao Xiao.”. Miss

Xiao, Miss Xiao, Xiao, your head.

Because Zheng Yanming had a rash and hit him in front of his bed for a month, I angrily dropped the wet towel in my hand and left. Cheng Yen-chin, the eldest son of

the emperor, couldn’t bear to look at it any more. He came to comfort me and said, “He’s just a fool. His face is cold. In fact, maybe there’s something wrong in his heart.”.

Maybe he has deep feelings for you for a long time, but he is embarrassed to show it. Do you believe it?

“I thought for a moment and said sincerely,” I don’t believe it.

A few days later, his rash was cured (not by me, of course), and a few days later, he became emperor. Zheng Yanming, who

became the emperor, was even more indifferent to me. When

I waited for him to go down to court and send him a body building and physical fitness of medicine, the gatekeeper said that the emperor did not see guests. When I waited for him to take a nap and go to send him melons and fruits, the gatekeeper said that the emperor did not see guests. When I waited for him to finish his dinner, I went to ask him for some copies of Imperial Study, but the gatekeeper said that the emperor did not see guests.

I am happy: At this time all disappear, don’t you still turn over the brand?

So I opened the curtain and went in. As soon as I entered the door, Zheng Yanming and a little maid of honor were whispering to each other.

I looked them in the eye. After a while, I opened my mouth awkwardly. “Sorry, sorry, sorry, goodbye.”. At noon

the next day, the eldest son of the emperor, who is now the King of Hejian, went to the Yining Palace to tip me off: The maid’s name was Wu Jui-lan. She had no family background, no background, and was a peasant family in the suburbs of Beijing. She had been waiting on her third brother since he was a child. It was understandable that she had a better relationship with his third brother.

Alas, no matter how she is, she is a concubine. You are the main palace. Be generous. I covered my face with

my hands and roared with grief and indignation: “I wonder how much time Hsiao Wen has wasted reading and studying all these years to please Cheng Yen-ming. I can’t imagine that he has already gone out with other people’s childhood sweethearts. I, ah, have made wedding clothes for others in vain!” The King of Hejian scratched his head. “What’s so interesting about books?” He thought for a moment and comforted me. “Then you can just read your books as much as you like. Anyway, my brother doesn’t like you. It’s useless to please him.”. It

hurt my heart. I looked at him and wanted to cry without tears. For

two years, I almost lived in Hongwenguan.

Because my aunt and I had less control, I left my daughter’s four books to read from Pangu’s creation of the world to Taizu’s winning the world on horseback.

I also met Zheng Yanming several times. As an emperor, he didn’t speak much. Every time he only looked at me and left in a hurry.

I will salute at most.

I haven’t bothered him for two years.

For me, the biggest sadness is the King of Hejian.

Although Yanqin’s fief was not far from Beijing, I still cried on the day of farewell.

“Don’t cry,” Zheng Yanqin looked around with some embarrassment, and then looked at me. “You’re almost a queen, and you’re still so delicate. No, you didn’t like to cry when you were young. Please don’t cry. Those who don’t know think you are crying for me.

As I cried, I slapped him with my sleeve. I gave you a jade pendant and you brought it.. Take it, Aunt Ben. The girl personally strung, that piece of good jade, throw. If you lose it, I’ll slap your skull.. All right, young lady, when I get to the palace, I’ll put a triple lock on the box and worship three times a day. Is that all right? Is that respectful enough?

Don’t impoverish you, go quickly.

I shook off my hand and turned back to the palace.

Then he cried in the bedroom.

The nuns were at a loss what to do with me and wanted to ask my aunt, who was busy watching the emperor’s comments. Finally, the empress Dowager came over and scolded me. I was so frightened that I quickly put away my tears.

I didn’t know that was the last time I heard the Empress Dowager speak.

Half a month ago, the old lady suddenly fell unconscious and finally died.

“My mother’s life has been too bitter,” I saw my aunt, dressed in a chopper, wiping away her tears. “Let’s not bury her with Emperor Wen quietly, but with her son who died in infancy.

“” This is against the rules, mother.

I saw Cheng Yen-ming trying to persuade him.

In the end, my aunt was slightly better.

The old empress only had her clothes with Emperor Wen, and she was finally sleeping beside the flesh and blood that she had been thinking about all her life.

Zheng Yanming is very unhappy.

I think this is also understandable, after all, my aunt did not do this properly, and as a son, he could not say anything, and it would be strange if he did not feel suffocated.

But two days later, he came to a more unruly one. On the third day of the

funeral ceremony, Zheng Yanming pulled Wu Ruilan, dressed in white, to kneel down together. In the surprise of

the crowd, I quietly took a piece of watermelon from the tea table and ate it.

When the funeral ended early, Zheng Yanming was called to lecture by his aunt.

I, on the other hand, sneaked into the inner room of the Qinzheng Hall. Sure enough, the little Wu maid was hiding here and had not yet been caught by her aunt. When

she saw me, she knelt down with a splash. I laughed and said, “Don’t be so polite. After all, we’re going to be sisters in the future. Get up and sit down. Get up and sit down.”.

She raised her head with trepidation, and I saw that she was indeed a pitiful beauty. Just as

I was asking her with a smile, I wondered how my aunt could allow her son to be served by such a beautiful maid. I heard a bang, and Cheng Yen-ming rushed in: “Hsiao Wen, don’t bully Rui-lan!”. I

It’s not that I don’t have Wu Ruilan: “Your Majesty, the young lady didn’t bully the maidservant. As the future mother of the country, the young lady should come to ask the maidservant..” Before she had finished speaking, Zheng Yanming took her over.

At this time, the little emperor was staring at me warily, as if he was still trying to suppress his anger.

Miss Hsiao, it seems that not everyone can come into my bedroom.

He said coldly.

I was staring at the spectacle at the moment: the emperor, who had not yet been married, was holding a woman who was hostile to his legitimate fiancee. You here.. I swallowed my spittle, and in my mind, like a slide show, I began to see the glorious past of the late emperor’s favorite concubine who destroyed his wife. “Then it seems that the funeral of your grandmother was not something that any palace maid could attend!”! Your Majesty, don’t you understand that your behavior is very bad for you and me, especially for Miss Wu?

“I stood up and slipped all the way out of the door.” I can’t afford to mess with you.

I wilted and drifted back to the Yining Palace, recalling in my mind what Mammy had said when she commented on my aunt’s demotion of her wife as a concubine: If it were a woman beside me, she would have collapsed long ago. How could she still have the spirit of an empress.

I am the woman of Sheol, and my feet have become limp. How to break when you meet your fiance’s favorite concubine and destroy his wife

before you get married? Wait online. It’s urgent.

I didn’t expect my aunt to be waiting for me as soon as I entered the palace.

It’s rare for my aunt to come to me on her own initiative, and I’m still so listless.

I quickly saluted, but my aunt grabbed me and said, “When I first entered the palace, did your father tell you that such a thing would happen?”?

“I froze for a moment, then answered honestly,” No.

“My father didn’t tell me either.” My aunt’s eyes were a little erratic. “He only said that this was the responsibility of the women of the Hsiao family and the glory of the women of the Hsiao family.

He never told me how much I had to pay for this honor.

“My aunt turned her eyes and stared at me.” Wen, let me ask you, do you still want to be the queen? Is

there any need to ask? Why did

I enter the palace early, not just to make the Phoenix surnamed Xiao? Without thinking,

I said, “I want to..” Pow.

My aunt slapped me in the face.

I was stunned.

Does it hurt?

My aunt asked me.

Pain.

I nodded.

Pow. Another

slap.

I covered my face and was completely confused. I haven’t been touched by others since I

was a child, not to mention the rich clothes and jade food in the palace, and my face will swell up when I look back.

Does it hurt? There will be more pain in the

future, “my aunt pointed to the phoenix chair in the main hall of the Yining Temple.” If you decide to sit down on this chair.

I, the empress Dowager, and the empresses who have sat here, have suffered much more humiliation than this slap. I was slapped for no

reason. Wen’er, are you wronged?

I nodded with my eyes wide open.

“Grievance is right,” my aunt looked down at me. “I know what you want to ask. The emperor is obviously confused about this. Why should I beat you?

But the emperor is not wrong, wrong is you, is Xiaojun, is also the emperor’s slave. No one in

this palace will pursue right and wrong, only the emperor’s favor, no favor you are wrong, whether the queen or the concubine, how noble are still bullied. I can protect you when I’m

alive, Xiao Wen, but what about when I’m dead?

You can count on your father to protect you, but how can you count on the Xiao family to remain standing? When

my father and eldest brother died suddenly, do you know how the late emperor bullied me? Do you

still want to be a queen?

“My aunt reached out and stroked my cheek.” Wen-er, think for yourself.

My aunt strode away, leaving me in a daze in the main hall.

After a while, I turned around and murmured to the frightened Mammy, “How could my father not understand what my aunt understands?”?

But why does he still want me to enter the palace? When

Aunt Six summoned Cheng Yen-ming to the Yining Palace, I was eating watermelon in the front hall.

He was startled to see my face as swollen as a steamed bun. “What are you..” The emperor has done something wrong, and I have been punished.

“I looked at him sincerely.” Do you eat melons?

Fresh, sweet.

Cheng Yen-ming turned from surprise to shame, and then whispered, I was reckless.. I’ll talk to my mother.

He stepped into the inner room with his front foot, and I leaned over the door with my back foot.

Just listen to Cheng Yen-ming’s urgent voice coming intermittently from inside: “Mother, this is what my son did wrong, but my son really loves Chong Rui-lan..” “You don’t have to criticize Miss Hsiao, but I really don’t want to marry her..” It’s too depressing to marry a pedant. Let her go home.. Inappropriate. Her son married her. Eldest brother Can The King of Hejian.. When I heard this, I was amazed. It turned out that Cheng Yen-ming disliked me for being “depressed.” It seemed that I shouldn’t have sent him things before. I should have gone to learn a duet earlier.

But why mention the Hejian King?

Do you want to marry me and Zheng Yanqin. I quickly covered my swollen red face.

I’m sure I must look terrible now. When

Cheng Yen-ming came out, he bowed to me seriously and said, “I’m sorry.” I was so scared that I almost fell to the ground.

However, after a hasty ceremony, he ran away like the wind, leaving me to be called by my aunt to inform the negotiation results: 1. My oral engagement with Zheng Yanming was cancelled, and everyone was happy; 2. Wu Ruilan, a little girl, was brought into the harem to become Huifei, but she did not become the queen because she was not qualified, and Zheng Yanming could not wait before the queen was appointed; 3. I became a female officer of Hongwenguan, majoring in history: I jumped with joy when I heard this; 4. In order to prevent my father from looking bad when I was sent home directly, Zheng Yanming would personally marry me, and the current tentative candidate is the King of Hejian.

Perhaps it was my starry eyes that made my aunt smile lovingly at me for the first time: “It’s a pity that it’s the national mourning period now. The King of Hejian will be informed of this matter by secret letter first, and a formal decree will be issued after the mourning period.”.

Really? Really? He hasn’t married yet? That’s great. That’s great. Aunt, how do you know I like Yanqin?

“Silly boy,” my aunt touched my bun. “We all saw how sad you were when Chin was in prison.

Don’t look at the old lady who was fierce to you at that time. She ran to me afterwards and said, ‘Why let Wen’er be like us?

Qin’er is also very good.

At that time, we were thinking about it.

I really lived in the Hongwen Hall.

As the only serious female official in the palace-not a senior palace maid who served or managed the palace affairs, I took people to sort out and check the history books all day, repair the defects, and write strategies from time to time.

The rest of the time is waiting for the king of Hejian to reply, waiting for the emperor to marry.

Wait for a letter from Zheng Yanqin. In the book,

Zheng Yanqin States that he met the daughter of a minor official in his fief and fell in love with her at first sight. He had brought her into the palace and was waiting for the end of the national mourning to write a petition for marriage. However, the status of the girl of the Xiao family was too noble, and he felt that the little prince could not match her, so he asked the emperor and the empress Dowager to withdraw the order.

Along with the letter came the jade pendant I had given him, saying that his sweetheart insisted that it was a token of my love for him, and that he had no choice but to return it to me.

Chin’er was a yes-man when she was young, but this time it was for the sake of her sweetheart.

“My aunt said strangely.”.

I cried more darkly than sending Zheng Yanqin to the vassal state.

My aunt also smiled bitterly. “I thought Chin’er must be interested in you, too, but I was too abrupt.”.

Wener, take it easy. He is not the only man in the world. With a handful of snot and tears,

I said, “One or two people don’t want me. Do you think I’m a monster?”?

I wailed, “In that case, I, Hsiao Wen, won’t get married, and I’ll be a female official at the Hongwen Hall for the rest of my life!” My aunt was busy coaxing me, “Well, well, if I don’t get married, what can I do if I don’t get married?”? If we

don’t marry, we won’t marry. So what if we look down on those men.

I held my aunt in my arms and cried.

As a result, I really didn’t get married.

At first, I was immersed in the feeling of being “abandoned,” and then I really immersed myself in my work.

When my father finally accepted the fact and wanted to kiss me, I shirked it for various reasons.

Now I am thirty years old, and I am the only female minister in this Dynasty. Zheng Yanming, who thought I was depressed

at that time, now has to confront me in the government.
