268 Zetian (Friday)
She finally got her wish. The first female emperor recorded in history, the founding king of the Wu Dynasty, the first person to open the world... These honorific titles will be crowned on her head the moment she officially ascends the throne, regardless of her future success or failure.
She sat tall on the throne alone, and there was no one else in the radius except her—everyone else was far away at her feet, whether they were as noble as the emperor's heir Li Dan, or as close as the nephews of the Wu family, or as close as Wan'er and Ah Qing, and whether these people were sincere and obedient, or humbly welcomed, at this moment, they were all surrendered to her feet.
This short moment took her a full thirty years, Taizong's deliberate welcome to the prince before his sickbed, the burden of forbearance and humiliation when he became a monk in Ganye Temple, the compromise when he returned to the palace and gave birth to a child, and the decision to kill after taking power... She did not hesitate to kill a son, exiled a son, and now deposed her grandson, but she has never regretted it at all.
Who taught these children and grandchildren not to fight for themselves, as a prince, he had received the best teaching since he was a child, and he was able to get close to the current situation, and he was naturally followed by a large number of followers, but he was able to do nothing, but there was nothing to see, not at all like her children and grandchildren, who had wasted the care of the first emperor and the masters she had carefully selected.
As soon as she thought of her children and grandchildren, her good mood was frustrated, and she frowned slightly, searching the crowd of people below the stairs with her eyes.
Li Dan knelt at the front, wearing the imperial heir's robe specially made for him, looking ignorant. This little man didn't understand why he was suddenly not the emperor, and he had been crying a lot recently. At first, she was still a little distressed, and patiently called the child to come to her and explained a few words - nothing more than a false talk about grandmother at this time, and you will return to you in the future, and then the child became more and more fierce, she lost her patience, and directly locked him in the side hall, starving for three days, this method is much more effective than gentle persuasion, and now Li Dan cringes when he sees her, and there is no longer the intimacy of the past.
She thought that she should have used this method a long time ago, saving a lot of tongue before, maybe at the earliest, she should have treated Li Dan's father like this, she was more strict at the beginning, without the warmth and affection of the previous hypocrisy, maybe these children would be more promising-and more obedient.
Her mood worsened when she thought of the word "obedient", and her eyes moved slightly to the princess's bush. She ascended the throne as the heroine and took it upon herself to do innovative things, so she ingeniously made men and women participate in the enthronement ceremony together. Her aunt and sisters were all named the eldest princess, princess, and county lord, and they were each happily listed at the front of the female dependents, and the "daughter" she recognized was also full of joy, juxtaposed with the Wu family, but there was no shame or sadness. However, no matter how well-behaved these people are, they are not as happy as Taiping standing there alone. That is the only princess she was born to, the only daughter, if the princesses must be divided into three, six, nine and so on, then Taiping must be the dearest, most respectful, and most worthy of being called the "princess" princess, and the only one among her children who is still around.
But he also resisted the most resolutely.
She lowered her eyes, and waited for this big ceremony to pass with some interest, and sat back to the inner hall to rest, although Wan'er has been with the ceremony, she has already ordered someone to take care of everything in the inner hall, and at this moment she came to go to the dress for her, took off the crown, changed into an ochre yellow robe, and instructed the palace people to serve tea, and pinched her shoulders and rubbed her back.
She waved away the redundant palace people, closed her eyes and sat on the couch for a while, and when the fatigue of her shoulders and neck caused by the heavy dress subsided, Fang opened her eyes again, and saw Wan'er walking to the front and personally serving tea, so she pinched the teacup and took a sip: "This dress is good." ”
The new emperor ascended the throne, from the emperor to the lower from the small officials, all of whom were subordinated to the Yi rank, and Wan'er's commitment was no exception. She was just right, these clothes were all seen in person, and what Wan'er picked out was a set of crimson medium-length official robes, the crown belt was like a men's five-grade style, and the robe was roughly like the original five-pin, but the waist was cut more appropriately, and the slender body of the little man was lined to the extreme, which was different from the generous and calm shape of the foreign official, and the robe was embroidered with many red flowers, the color of the flower was close to the color of the clothes, the flower cluster was denser, and the flowers were larger。
Wan'er is in her twenties, and her outfall is very different from that when she was a teenager, wearing such an official robe, looking more and more dignified, her eyes stayed on Wan'er for a long time, put the cup back on the tray, but the hand was not busy withdrawing, but touched Wan'er's hand, these hands have been carefully maintained by the owner, more and more white and delicate, even the knuckles due to the formation of the cocoon formed by holding the pen have also been repaired one by one, holding it more silky and delicate than before, even when doing that at night, it seems to be more dexterous, she also intended to pay attention to a few men, but when she thought that those rough men may not have Wan'er's gentleness, she dispelled these thoughts, and although men are born with some benefits over women, but it is implicated, the potential energy is not enough, in the night, the pleasure is always limited, and the magic of the hand is really infinite, when the spirit is good, the night from the night can also be supported, the spirit is not good, but also only a little warm, and can be used as you like, do not have to deliberately evoke, compared to men, more free to release - For example, now, Wan'er has understood her intentions, let go of the tray, stepped forward respectfully, took off her clothes for her, stroked her fingertips, touched her critical place, and gently signaled to her to inquire with her eyes, she smiled slightly, glanced out, saw that the window was open, but she didn't care, and touched Wan'er's hand: "Sit up." ”
Wan'er bowed her head respectfully, confessed her guilt, knelt on the edge of the couch, she pulled Wan'er, ordered the little thing to lie down on her side, and she also lay down, and the two faced each other.
Wan'er had never been in such a posture, carefully leaning against the pillow, and calling "Your Majesty" uneasily. She had some meaning in her heart, but she really fell down, but she was not very eager, she only put one hand on Wan'er's waist, slowly rubbed the tightness on her body, and smiled softly: "Lie down with me for a while." ”
Wan'er responded gently, carefully next to the couch, and occasionally saw her have some movement, so she hurriedly got up to take care of it, and was pressed down by her once, Fang seriously lay down on her side, but she also opened her eyes wide, and she didn't dare to blink and look at her.
When she looked at such eyes, she lost even more interest in doing those things, and said half-self-deprecating and half-jokingly: "I am over fifty years old, and I am already the same age as your mother, and I have wronged you by asking you to do such things every day." ”
She met Zheng once, and the wind and frost of the court had completely turned Zheng into an old washerwoman, with gray hair, wrinkled face, slow movement, and cringe, not like Wan'er's biological mother, but like a grandmother - if you calculate carefully, she is almost the same in age, but in this way, she is old enough to be Wan'er's grandmother.
She doesn't like this feeling, usually looking at those old women of the same age as her, she is more or less happy in her heart, after all, if she is slightly decorated, she looks like a person in her thirties, and its brilliance is far from comparable to these people, but Zheng is Wan'er's biological mother, this feeling is subtle, thinking about her and Wan'er's age, it always makes her feel that some years are fleeting, not to mention that Wan'er is still at the same age as Taiping.
As soon as she thought of the little daughter who didn't know whether she was too angry or too competitive, she felt bored for a while, and didn't care what Wan'er answered, but asked herself: "What do little girls of your age think about on weekdays?——? ”
Wan'er pursed her lips and said: "The concubine doesn't know what others are like, in the concubine's heart, at the age of His Majesty, it is the time when she has been in the world for a long time and has read all the vicissitudes of life. As for the old ugly, procrastination, and unreasonableness, it is even more of a non-existent thing, such as Your Majesty, such as the concubine A-Niang, are all neat and reasonable women, although A-Niang is a little old, but she is also beautiful among the old women, and Your Majesty is even more dignified and graceful, comparable to extraordinary generations. ”
She sighed, raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that on the first day of your aunt's visit to the capital, she scolded you and cried, and recently she has often found fault with you in public, don't you dislike her?"
The little thing knew that he was well-informed, but he didn't have a big panic, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he naturally smiled: "I'm not afraid of Your Majesty's laughter, A-Niang has reached such an age, her temper is somewhat irritable, and although the concubine is not very troublesome outside, in front of A-Niang, but somehow, she is always a little naughty, which makes A-Niang's heart unhappy. But A-Niang is annoyed, in the end she still cherishes the concubine's daughter, although the concubine is naughty, she also knows that A-Niang is good for the concubine, so although there are some quarrels when they meet, in the end, they always get along. ”
She smiled lightly and said, "Yes, you have a good relationship with your mother." ”
Wan'er clearly noticed her thoughts, and immediately took it in passing: "There are two mothers and daughters, and they are only daughters, how can the relationship be bad? For example, Princess Changle is so stubborn, didn't Your Majesty send people to watch it several times a day, and finally give doctors and medicines, and take care of them in every way?" In the past year or two, this little thing has not only been more diligent in the things she has explained, but also more diligent in figuring out her mind, knowing that she wants to step down the ladder, she throws the ladder herself, and now that she has ascended the throne, maybe she can order this little lady to take more responsibilities, and no longer have to clarify the etiquette documents, make poems on behalf of her, copy the will, and draw up some irrelevant decrees.
She lowered her eyes slightly, obviously a little happy in her heart, but deliberately pretended to be displeased, frowned and said, "It would be nice if she had half of your filial piety and sensibility." It's a pity that you can be considerate of my heart, but she doesn't know anything. ”
Wan'er got off the bed, knelt on the ground upright, and said in a straight voice: "If the concubine's aunt and the concubine are not harmonious, the concubine is young and ignorant and often makes Ah Niang angry, and she is not convinced by Ah Niang's reprimand, but after Ah Niang's careful explanation, or after a year or two, you can always understand your own mistakes, and you can understand Ah Niang's compassion and mother-daughter affection, and the love between mother and daughter is also deeper." The concubine thought that between His Majesty and the princess, and between the concubine's aunt and the concubine, although there was a difference, the human feelings were always the same. His Majesty misses the princess □□, thinks well in trouble, and puts pragmatism first in everything and everywhere, while the princess is young, always impulsive and ignorant, and is born weak. If the mother and daughter are deadlocked, one is stubborn, and now the princess is sick, drowsy, and only knows that she is willful and has no time to think about it, even if she is blamed for this, it is not clear, and she resents His Majesty even more in her heart. And the princess has been on hunger strike for five days, and she has had a heart attack for two days, although it was by His Majesty's will, and she was forced to pour medicine and food to continue her life, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no case - if there is a case, I am afraid that it will not only hurt the princess's body, but also hinder Your Majesty's loving mother's pains. If Your Majesty can turn around first and teach slowly, in time, the princess will be able to understand Your Majesty's hard work, and then the mother and son will be filial piety, and it will be a harmonious and happy situation. Han Wu Liang Wu, strict criticism, to the regret of the son, may Your Majesty think about it. ”
She smiled slightly: "That is the case, but you are right, it is up to you to pass on the decree, let Taiping stay in the Yeting Palace, and think about it, when you will figure it out, and when you will come to see me again." 166 Reading Network
