Chapter 460: Cold Heart
After a long time, when the people were almost there, Queen Xu led many women to Cining Palace together. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Empress Dowager Ning is a little old, and she always feels poor in spirit these days, but with Princess Anping by her side and talking for a while, she is also happy at this time.
Everyone accompanied the Queen Mother and talked for a while, and seeing that the hour was almost up, they got up together and walked towards the palace garden.
Along the way, Gu Qingwei inevitably felt a little emotional.
A year ago today, she fell for Concubine Liu Xian and Liu Fengjiao's calculations at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, and even almost fulfilled their wishes, but now it's only been a year, and who else in the palace will mention Concubine Liu Xian?
Even if Emperor Yuanchang did not issue an order to take away the title of Concubine Liu Xian and send her to the cold palace, now the Yongshou Palace is obviously another cold palace.
And why did Concubine Liu Xian suddenly provoke Emperor Yuanchang so angry, and even implicated King Jing and Princess Yongchang, except for Concubine Zheng Guifei, the initiator, there is no second person in the palace who knows.
In the palace garden, the banquet has already been prepared, and the ministers and women are seated.
Gu Qingwei and Ning Zhiyuan sat together, their eyes swept slightly, but they didn't see Concubine Zheng.
Seeing that Gu Qing was not thoughtful, Ning Zhiyuan immediately understood and said: "That one, it is said that it is not suitable to feast and drink because he is pregnant, so he has not attended." ”
Gu Qing nodded in confusion.
I have to say that Emperor Yuanchang really values Concubine Zheng Guifei.
The full moon gradually hung on the branches, and with this faint frost color, the monarchs and ministers gathered together to drink, and it was a scene of singing and dancing.
Since Concubine Liu Xian was ordered to be banned in Yongshou Palace by Emperor Yuanchang, she has not taken a step out of Yongshou Palace for more than two months, although it stands to reason that without Concubine Liu Xian, it is unlikely that others will be tempted by themselves, but with the lesson of last year, Gu Qingwei can be regarded as cautious in everything this time, or Ning Zhiyuan found out later, secretly held her hand and said, "Everything has me", and she gradually relaxed.
I don't know if it's because Concubine Zheng is pregnant, Emperor Yuanchang is particularly interested today, and he has changed his previous seriousness to a smile on his face, and he has repeatedly raised a glass with his ministers.
Gu Qingwei sighed secretly in his heart.
Sometimes it's so unfair, what about Queen Xu's mother in the world, can't she be compared to Concubine Zheng Guifei, who was put in mind by Emperor Yuanchang.
Although Emperor Yuanchang doted on Concubine Zheng in the early years, he still knew how to save face for Empress Xu, but now he doesn't know if it is simply because Concubine Zheng is pregnant, or it is difficult to keep a clear head when he is old, so his love for Concubine Zheng is so obvious.
Seeing that Gu Qingwei was thinking something, Ning Zhiyuan gently squeezed her hand on her lap again, "The news I just got here, there have been faint rumors in the palace recently, saying that my uncle wants to make Concubine Zheng the imperial concubine." ”
Gu Qingwei raised his eyes in surprise.
There is already such news circulating in the palace, which in itself is very telling.
In the etiquette system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was also an imperial concubine above the queen and under the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine was generally regarded as a deputy queen, and at some times she could also take charge of the harem affairs on behalf of the queen.
Emperor Yuanchang really wants to praise Zheng Guifei?
I'm afraid that after this incident, there will be a lot of turmoil in the court, and I don't know how many courtiers will fall to King Ning's side because of Emperor Yuanchang's attitude.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingwei couldn't help but smile slightly.
After Queen Xu understood the two copies of "Boudoir Fan Tushuo" she handed over, I wonder if there will be excitement in another village?
In the previous life, the Dingguo Mansion did not favor any side in the matter of establishing the prince, although it also successfully passed the time of the change of imperial power, and later Ning Zhiyuan also won the trust of Emperor Longqing, but in the end it was still separated from Emperor Longqing.
And this time, they took the lead, knew the development of many things one step earlier, and extended a hand to Queen Xu and King Duan at this time.
How can the icing on the cake be better than charcoal in the snow?
I believe that this matter will be remembered by Queen Xu and King Duan.
In Gu Qingwei's thoughts, this Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, which was obviously more lively than in previous years, finally came to an end.
After the ministers ordered the women to thank the en, they left the palace one after another, and the originally lively palace garden was quiet for a moment.
In Kunning Palace, Queen Xu was served by the palace maid and replaced her solemn phoenix robe, and then put on a regular dress at random, and after sending all the palace people serving around her down, she sat on the bed with a sarcastic smile on her face.
Today is the fifteenth, in addition to the time of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also the day when Emperor Yuanchang should come to Kunning Palace.
However, just because Concubine Zheng had an extra piece of meat in her stomach, Emperor Yuanchang was like a hairy boy who was a father for the first time without even leaving a word, and went to Yonghe Palace to accompany Concubine Zheng.
The autumn night is as cold as water, but Queen Xu's heart is a little cooler than that night at the moment.
When she was a teenager, she married Emperor Yuanchang, who was still the crown prince at the time, and she had been with each other for many years, she thought that there should be some affection between them, but she didn't expect that the relationship was so fragile.
Thinking about Emperor Yuanchang's changing temperament in recent days, Empress Xu is not only cold, but also has a lot of urgency.
Emperor Yuanchang intends to canonize Zheng Guifei as the imperial concubine, Empress Xu is not unaware of this matter, and even Emperor Yuanchang has tried in front of her on this matter, if she really lets Zheng Guifei take another step, will she also take away the position of the middle palace in the future?
Thinking like this, Queen Xu's gentle face was slightly distorted.
Everyone has their own things that they can't be taken away, and for Queen Xu, her throne and her sons are the ones she will never touch.
Then, she thought of the two books that Gu Qingwei had sent.
At that time, she only had time to read the names of two books, but she did not have time to read the contents of the books.
Thinking of what Gu Qingwei said at the time, sending these two books was for her own fun, even though she was not in a good mood at this time, Queen Xu couldn't help but smile again.
She had a hunch that the contents of these two books would definitely satisfy her.
Skipping the identical cover, Empress Xu opened one of the books first.
Taking the deeds of the martyrs and virtuous women of the past dynasties into a book, to teach the Ming women, the content of this first book did not exceed Queen Xu's expectations, after reading it, she closed the page of the book, and began to look at another one.
After only reading the first few pages, Queen Xu had already discovered the clues.
The content of these two "Boudoir Fan Illustrated" is not completely consistent!
Perhaps, this is Gu Qingwei's true intention of sending the book to him?
Thinking like this, Empress Xu sped up her reading until her gaze stopped on the last page, and then she couldn't take her eyes off for a long time.

Ahem, I have to go shopping with my sister during the day, and everyone forgives the author for having a wild heart......
