Chapter 2 The Queen Mother
The Empress Dowager Cao is the wife of the former emperor and the biological mother of the current emperor Zhao Yi.
The first emperor favored the concubine Qin alone, and several times revealed the intention of abolishing the queen, she suffered the humiliation and neglect of the first emperor, which was even more difficult than the situation of the empress dowager back then.
But she did not endure to retreat like the Empress Dowager, but was protected by the Empress Dowager, endured Qin Guifei for ten years, and gave birth to Zhao Yi in the eleventh year when Qin Guifei entered the palace. Then the mother relied on her son, and when the first emperor was alive, she won the support of the important ministers of the court and the Zongren Mansion when the first emperor was alive, and forced the emperor to set up Zhao Yi as the crown prince.
After the funeral of the first emperor, she not only held the five-year-old Zhao Yi to listen to the government and became the queen mother, but also let Qin Guifei give the first emperor a funeral, and sent Zhao Yi, the eldest son of the emperor born to Qin Guifei, to Liaodong to serve as a vassal......
Now Emperor Zhao Yi is fifteen years old.
The man was fifteen and tied his hair.
The Empress Dowager Cao, who was dictatorial and arbitrary, still lived in Kunning Palace, where only the queen was qualified to live, that is, she did not mean to give Zhao Yi the intention of being elected, nor did she have the intention of returning to Zhao Yi.
The Empress Dowager was also a little dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Cao because of this.
But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, today's Empress Dowager Cao is no longer the Empress Cao who cried pitifully in Cining Palace back then, the Empress Dowager still has to leave a way for her mother's brother, and she also expects Empress Dowager Cao to treat Jiang Xian well, where do you dare to say anything, the matter between the emperor and the Empress Dowager is naturally blind and pretend not to know.
Jiang Xian, who was in his previous life, could naturally feel his grandmother's helplessness, and tried to stay away from Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Yi.
But Jiang Xian, who was reborn, knew that on October 14 of this year, the day of Empress Dowager Cao's birthday, the little emperor Zhao Yi, who was supported by her uncle Jiang Zhenyuan, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the uncle of the first emperor, King Jian Zhao Zheng, led 3,000 Praetorian Guards to surround Wanshou Mountain in Kunming Lake, where Empress Dowager Cao was a long-lived person...... On October 18, the Empress Dowager Cao returned to Zhao Yi, and on October 25, the Empress Dowager Cao died in Changchun Palace.
At the age of forty-seven, he was nicknamed "Xiaoding".
On the tenth day of March of the following year, Zhao Yi made her the queen, and the original palace maid Xiao Rongniang was made a beauty because of her meritorious childbirth.
Jiang Xian sighed almost inaudibly.
In the past few days, she has been busy confirming whether she is a dream or a rebirth, busy reuniting with her grandmother, who has died of illness for eight years in her memory, and analyzing the grievances in her previous life, and she has ignored such an important thing.
But what if she remembered?
Zhao Yi is like his biological mother, Empress Dowager Cao, suspicious and cunning by nature, and acts ruthlessly and viciously. He wanted to besiege the Empress Dowager Cao, he must have been planning for a long time, her uncle Jiang Zhenyuan was afraid that he had already boarded Zhao Yi's thief ship, and at this time he instigated his uncle to break up with him, which not only caused the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Cao, but also caused Zhao Yi to hate because of the salary drawn from the bottom of the kettle, and neither side was human.
And the most taboo thing on the temple is this kind of wall grass that flatters both sides.
Thinking optimistically, Zhao Yi at least succeeded in her previous life, her uncle had the skill of being a dragon, and the momentum of the Jiang family was also on a higher level. If she interrupts the pattern of her previous life, and Empress Dowager Cao is still in power, who knows what will happen?
said a thousand things and ten thousand, Jiang Xian asked herself, in fact, she felt that compared to the Empress Dowager Cao, who had always been a stranger, if Zhao Yi, who had been a husband and wife with her for three years, was in power, she could deal with it better, and she should leave the Empress Dowager Cao's affairs alone......
Jiang Xian got up and wanted to help his grandmother.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand, slowly released the cards, and said, "The weather is so cold, let's invite the Empress Dowager to come to the warm pavilion to talk!." ”
"Is that good?" The Empress Dowager was a little worried.
Since the Empress Dowager Cao was in power, the second son, the third son, and the fourth son of the emperor born to Concubine Qin Guifei died in the past ten years, crippled, and crazy, and the people in the palace were very jealous of the Empress Dowager Cao, especially those who were born in meritorious families like the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, as well as brothers and nephews who were officials in the court.
The Empress Dowager sneered, and she didn't refresh, so the Empress Dowager and Jiang Xian went to the second room of the Warm Pavilion with one left and one right.
Liu Xiaoman, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, bowed down to lead the way in front, and more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids walked in with Empress Dowager Cao in their arms.
She smiled and shouted "Queen Mother".
Empress Dowager Cao's eunuch Cheng Dehai had already brought a Taishi chair to Empress Dowager Cao.
Liu Xiaoman lowered his eyes, and his face was a little ugly.
The Empress Dowager didn't see it, and said politely: "It's hard for you to come to see me in this heavy wind and rain." Isn't there anything important? Just let someone pass the word, why bother to follow it personally. ”
Empress Dowager Cao is already a person who sits on the four looks, perhaps it has been smooth sailing in the past few years, and the worries left to her by the emperor in the early years can no longer see a trace of shadow in her, her face is ruddy, her eyes are bright, she is wearing a very ordinary stone blue grape four-persimmon pattern gown, only wearing ruby double blessing red gold earrings on her ears, and her eyebrows are full of the confidence of the superior.
Jiang Xian and others stepped forward to salute her.
Empress Dowager Cao didn't glance at the Empress Dowager from the corner of her eyes, and said to the Empress Dowager: "I haven't been to Cining Palace for some days. I don't happen to be too busy today, so I'll stop by and have a look. Then his gaze fell straight on Jiang Xian's body, and there was a little smile on his face, "Baoning, how do I feel that you have grown taller again?"
Empress Dowager Cao has always been quite friendly to Jiang Xian.
This is of course related to the fact that Jiang Xian was favored by the Empress Dowager, and it is also related to the fact that her uncle Jiang Zhenyuan, the Duke of Zhenguo, was one of the three major princes of the dynasty, and the auxiliary minister that the first emperor pointed to Zhao Yi before his death, and now he is still in charge of the military power of the Xishan battalion.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Cao always wanted to marry Jiang Xian to her nephew Chengen Gong Cao Xuan.
In his previous life, Jiang Xian was very disgusted by Empress Dowager Cao's practice of putting together Cao Xuan, who was eight years older than him.
Before the Empress Dowager Cao entered the palace, the Cao family was just a small four-grade hereditary commander, Cao Xuan had not yet decided on a marriage at the age of twenty-one, and everyone knew that the Empress Dowager Cao wanted to use Cao Xuan's marriage to improve the Cao family's family.
People with a little backbone will not do this kind of thing, and the Empress Dowager Cao, who wants to do this kind of thing, looks down on it, and after this back and forth, the Empress Dowager Cao hit Jiang Xian with the idea.
In this life, in the face of Empress Dowager Cao's purposeful kindness, Jiang Xian's mood is quite delicate.
After Zhao Yi came into power, she and Cao Xuan were the queen who was shelved by the emperor and had no real name, and the other was the remnants of the emperor's deep disgust and suppression......
Empress Dowager Cao is afraid that she never dreamed of it!
Jiang Xian struggled to remember when he was thirteen years old.
She seemed to be quite naïve and romantic at that time, feeling that she was protected by her grandmother and uncle, as long as she didn't mess with others, others couldn't offend her, and she was polite and alienated to Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Yi like next-door neighbors.
Then pretend to be a well-behaved little girl.
Jiang Xian pursed his lips and smiled at the Empress Dowager Cao, which was regarded as a reply to the Empress Dowager Cao's words.
