After eating, Cai Wei put everything into the space, gave the parrot and Changmei their tooth offerings, and for the rest, she ordered to give blessings to the palace maids and eunuchs of the Chengqian Palace.

The rules in the palace, the emperor, the queen and even the princess and the prince eat something, if there is left, it must be buried, and then eaten again in the next meal, so that people are not allowed to contaminate it in the slightest. However, Cai Wei felt that it was a pity that so many good things were buried, so it was better to let the palace maids and eunuchs eat them, even if it was to improve their food, and it could be regarded as making the best use of things, so as not to spoil things.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Chengqian Palace received the queen's decree, and they all immediately feasted and feasted

In the Yukun Palace

Concubine Li, Concubine Yao and Concubine Huo and many other concubines were accompanying Empress Dowager Mo to talk and have fun, although Empress Dowager Mo was talking to everyone lively, but she was already angry at this time.

Just now, when the emperor and the queen went to Qixia Palace to see the emperor, the concubines were already waiting for her, wanting to meet the new queen, but they heard the eunuch report that after the two of them came out of Qixia Palace, they went back to their Chengqian Palace directly.

They didn't come to Yukun Palace to meet them, but went back to Chengqian Palace, and they stayed for an hour, they simply didn't take her in their eyes, it was too hateful

Concubine Yao accompanied her carefully and said: "The emperor must be tired today, I heard that the second watch got up, and the toss of water and rice has not been entered until now, even the iron body can't stand it, I must go back to rest for a while, and then come to see the Queen Mother."

Concubine Huo also said: "If the emperor comes to see the queen mother physically and mentally exhausted, the queen mother will be distressed when she sees it, and the emperor must not bear to worry about the queen mother, so he will take a little rest and come to see him again."

When Empress Dowager Mo heard the words of the two concubines, her anger disappeared slightly, but Concubine Li shook the folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Huo is too underestimated to look down on our majesty, Your Majesty has practiced martial arts since childhood, it is such a toss for three days and three nights, and it will not be physically and mentally exhausted, look for the palace, it must be the age of the young couple who are strong in blood and strength, and I couldn't help it for a while, I heard that yesterday the female official went to Mu Mansion to test the queen's body, and was driven out by the queen, just let the emperor personally inspect it at this time, hehe"

When Empress Dowager Mo heard this, she lowered her face, glanced at Concubine Li unhappily, and said: "Does Concubine Li mean that the emperor and the queen ignore the etiquette and law, and proclaim ** in the palace during the day?"

Concubine Li laughed "hehehe" and said: "Yes or no, the Queen Mother sent someone to Chengqian Palace to have a look, why bother us to guess here?"

Concubine Li is already a bitter person, because she is too tall, so she has always been jealous, guarded against, and suppressed by Concubine Jin, plus she has a mean mouth and an unpleasant temperament, so she has not been favored for so many years, and she does not even have an heir, and it is precisely because of this that she has to join the queen's camp and join forces with the queen to resist the suppression of Concubine Jin.

Now, Concubine Jin has died, the country has changed hands, she has been aggrieved in the harem for half her life, and her dream of responding to the call in the palace has not been realized, she has become a concubine, disappointed, she pinned all her hopes on her niece, what she has not been able to do in her life, how much she hopes that her niece can do it

Concubine Li was born noble, but she was pressed by the lowly Jin Guifei for half her life, and there were naturally a thousand or ten thousand unwilling in her heart, so she hated those women who were from humble backgrounds but were favored, and now the new queen was not only from a humble background, but also robbed the queen throne that should have belonged to her nephew's daughter, so now she has regarded Cai Wei as the person she hates the most in her heart, as long as she seizes the opportunity, she will spare no effort to fight.

Just like now, even if they are filthy and declared, no one will blame the emperor, they will think that it is the queen who is frivolous and shameless, so that the emperor will be seduced like this.

Concubine Yao was originally a loyal supporter of Empress Dowager Mo, since Nangong Yu succeeded to her name, only Empress Dowager Mo was the only one who looked forward, seeing that Concubine Li was disrespectful, she hurriedly defended Nangong Yi and said: "Sister Li is too hearty, the emperor is the most pure-hearted and has few desires, otherwise it wouldn't be so big, and he wouldn't even accept a side concubine."

Concubine Huo also wanted to help Empress Dowager Mo speak, but she was from a humble background, and she didn't dare to offend Concubine Li, so she had to smile and say: "Xu is the queen is tired and hungry, go back to the palace to rest for a while, eat something to make up for your stomach, the queen mother and concubine sisters are at ease, I expect the emperor and the queen to arrive soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch's singing and harmonizing voice suddenly came from the palace gate: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived."

After singing and finishing, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei had already walked in surrounded by everyone.

The phoenix crown weighing twenty or thirty catties on Cai Wei's head has been taken off by Nangong Yi, and only five ruby and gold-encrusted magnolia are decorated on the forehead, and a string of red coral beads symbolizing the identity of the bride is very festive. Her body is still wearing the red weft brocade wedding dress when she was canonized, the wedding dress is embroidered with gold thread with the pattern of phoenix wings, the placket and cuffs are embroidered with gold thread with rich peony, peony is the head of the hundred, graceful and luxurious, the phoenix is the king of birds, the most spiritual bird in heaven and earth, at this time this red wedding dress, peony and pedicle, phoenix wings, the two patterns are cleverly and harmoniously arranged together, it seems that this phoenix robe is both graceful and luxurious, and dignified atmosphere

Nangong Yi changed into a red weft brocade robe, embroidered with a five-clawed dragon symbolizing the identity of the emperor, a colorful palace silk hanging from his waist, a black background and gold-rimmed court boots, a blood jade hair crown on his head, and a red coral hairpin.

The two walked side by side to the center of the hall and stood in front of the Empress Dowager Mo, the man was handsome and elegant, and the woman was delicate and beautiful, like a pair of golden boys and girls.

A big palace maid sent two cushions and put them under the knees of Nangong Yi and Cai Wei, although Cai Wei hated this reason to kneel and worship at every turn, but she still knelt down obediently and bowed to the Empress Dowager Mo who was sitting on the top

Salute to the Empress Dowager Mo, who is sitting on the top.

"Sons see queen mother"

Empress Dowager Mo was displeased yesterday because Cai Wei drove away the female official who underwent the medical examination and did not save face for her; After Caiwei was canonized today, she didn't come to see her directly, but went back to her palace for so long, and took off the phoenix crown, and didn't even wear a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head that symbolized the queen's identity.

Therefore, even if Cai Wei was as worthy as a golden boy and a girl like her son, even if they were respectfully bowing to her, she was still not happy in her heart, and only said coldly: "Get up"

"Queen Mother"

The two thanked them, Nangong Yi got up suddenly, and stood in front of Cai Wei in the blink of an eye, ignoring the stunned eyes of the elders, and reached out to help his charming lady.

When Cai Wei got up, Zhao Qiu had already stretched out her hand, but when she saw that the emperor was going to help the queen in person, she retracted her hand and quietly stepped aside.

In front of everyone's eyes, Cai Wei was originally embarrassed to be supported by him, but she couldn't sweep his face, so she had to be cheeky and hugged by him to get up, and stood there with a red face.

Nangong Yi helped Cai Wei up, ignoring the queen's stunned eyes, bent down calmly, helped her straighten her skirt, and after sorting it out, she stood up straight calmly.

This kind of wife and slave behavior quickly aroused a strong reaction from several concubines present, especially Concubine Li, who has been in the palace for half her life, except for the emperor who just entered the palace and slept with her for two nights, the remaining 20 years or so were all alone and alone.

As a woman, of course, she also longs for this kind of husband and wife love, respect for each other, although she is in the position of concubine, enjoy the glory and wealth, but alone in the face of the lonely long night, difficult to survive these decades, this lonely and lonely life, for her psychology and physiology are a kind of ruthless brilliance, so that her heart has a strict distortion.

She can't see others showing affection

Especially when a man is in love with a woman like this

It made her eyes red with jealousy

Although Concubine Yao also envied Cai Wei's luck, her mentality was much calmer than that of Concubine Li, she just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled twice, saying, "The emperor and the queen are really in love."

Concubine Huo Xian smiled and didn't dare to squeak. Concubine Li was much meaner: "Don't be sorry for the emperor, the queen has just been tired"

What does this sentence mean, everyone here can understand it, Nangong Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his evil eyes had a faint smile, and when he looked at the speaker, there was a very deep domineering, with a faint bloodthirsty murderous intent, which made people feel cold

Cai Wei glanced at him, although she didn't say anything, Nangong Yi could understand it.

"The affairs of the harem, the affairs of women, are solved by her, and he does not need to do anything"

Receiving the woman's hint, Nangong Yi slowly turned her head and no longer looked at the old woman who was suffocated by the lonely palace.

Cai Wei didn't pay attention to her, it seemed that she was not worth their trouble, she bowed down to the Empress Dowager Mo, and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine got up early because of today's wedding, and she didn't dare to eat, she tossed for most of the day, her body was a little weak, and she didn't want to lose her honor in front of the queen mother, which made the queen mother worried, and the concubine deliberately went back to the palace to rest for a while, and only after a little better did she go to the queen mother's palace to meet, and hoped that the queen mother would forgive her sins."

Cai Wei explained in detail, Empress Dowager Mo is Nangong Yi's mother, and she is the closest person to Nangong Yi besides her, so although she doesn't like Empress Dowager Mo either, she still doesn't want to have any trouble with her, so as not to embarrass Nangong Yi.

Empress Dowager Mo was originally unhappy that Cai Wei was late and made her slap in the face in front of the concubines, so she wanted to teach her a few words to vent her anger, but after listening to her explanation, it was like getting a ladder down the stairs, and swallowed the words of reprimanding her into her stomach. After all, this daughter is the top of her son's heart, and reprimanding this woman will make her son unhappy and make her son dissatisfied with her father

Empress Mo said considerately: "Even if you are unwell, go back to rest early, and ask Yao Yuan to judge you later, so that you can recuperate and strive to give birth to the emperor's heir as soon as possible." ”

Cai Wei said respectfully: "Yes" took two steps forward, took the tea cup in Peony's hand, and knelt down in front of Queen Mo again: "Queen Mother, please drink tea"

The daughter-in-law toasted the tea, and the Empress Dowager Mo was a little dizzy, she took the teacup and took a sip, and handed the cup to the hand of a big palace maid beside her, and pulled out a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head casually, and personally inserted it into Cai Wei's head, which was regarded as a meeting gift for her daughter-in-law. And said: "In the future, the emperor will rely on you to serve, you must be diligent, take care of the emperor's diet and daily life, and take care of your body more, and strive to conceive a dragon seed as soon as possible, and extend the heirs for the emperor." ”

Three sentences are not an heir, Cai Wei really has a headache, she is only fourteen years old, giving birth to a child at such a young age will definitely hurt her vitality, and I am sorry for God's love for her, giving her a young body.

Although there were a hundred resistances in her heart, she still agreed softly and obediently: "Yes, the concubine must follow the instructions of the queen mother."

Seeing that Cai Wei's attitude was quite respectful, Queen Mo felt a little happier in her heart, and said, "Get up, the Empress Dowager hasn't gone yet, go and kowtow to the Empress Dowager."

As soon as she finished saying the word "get up", Nangong Yi had already come over, picked up Cai Wei with her own hands, and helped her tidy up her skirt. After hearing that the Queen Mother asked them to see the Queen Mother, they saluted and went out with Cai Wei.

As soon as the front foot left, Concubine Li smiled and said: "Tsk, our queen mother is really arrogant and expensive, and a canonization ceremony can make her tired and rest, how can such a weak woman give birth to a strong little prince."

Empress Dowager Mo said coldly: "The matter of the emperor's heir, it is not your turn to have a concubine to put the beak, you have been talking more and more recently, it seems that the last time the Buddhist scriptures were copied too little, and it failed to make your heart pure."

The heart is purified. ”

Concubine Li said: "The queen mother blames the concubines, and the concubines are also concerned about the chaos, this morning I heard that our emperor issued an edict, saying that the harem will never accept concubines, the concubines think, the queen is so weak, if there are no other concubines in the harem, how can the emperor open the branches and leaves, I really don't know what the emperor thought at the time, and actually issued such a horrific edict." ”

Concubine Yao smiled: "What's terrifying, it's nothing more than that our emperor values love and righteousness, and he really cares about our queen."

Concubine Li smiled and said: "Which is our emperor's love and righteousness, you want me to see, it is the charm of our queen's mother, not only caused our emperor to die for her, but even Liaodan's Saknu Khan still misses her, tsk, it's really amazing, by the way, there is also the younger brother of Concubine Huo, the richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Concubine Li, kneel down"

Empress Mo's voice cooled, "In the future, without the summons of the palace, I will stay in Yiqiu Garden to think, and I am not allowed to move around at will."

Empress Mo coldly interrupted Concubine Li's words, although she did not explicitly say that she was grounded, but the facts have shown that Concubine Li was grounded indefinitely.

Concubine Li stood up, blessed the queen with a false blessing, and went out with a twist of her waist.

Queen Mo is different from Concubine Jin, the means of punishing the palace concubines do not have any deterrent ability, not to ban the palace concubines and punish people for copying Buddhist scriptures, but not like Concubine Jin, who takes people's lives at every turn and exterminates the nine clans.

Therefore, Concubine Li is not afraid of her, and she dares to be fearless and open in front of her, without worrying about what will happen to her

Concubine Yao and Concubine Huo sensed that the Queen Mother was angry, so they hurriedly got up to say goodbye and went out quietly, leaving the Queen Mother Mo depressed in the palace

Nangong Yi promised to live a lifetime with Mu Caiwei, and she already knew about it, but she didn't expect her son to come. unexpectedly announced this agreement to the world with great fanfare, which caused the dissatisfaction of many meritorious people who planned to send their daughters to the palace, if he did not announce it to the world, he could marry her again at any time; And he told the world that remarrying her would be regarded as untrustworthy, which invisibly reduced his prestige as the king of a country.

Her son she understands that Nangong Yi will not give birth to the kind of ridiculous ideas of a lifetime and a couple out of thin air, these ideas must have been instilled in him by Mu Caiwei, and the edict of never accepting a concubine in the harem must have been issued by her to him, this woman, her ambition is really too big, thinking of this, Empress Dowager Mo's mood instantly darkened

It is said that men are like pots, women are like cups, and a teapot can only be matched with one cup, which is really ridiculous

Nangong Yi and Cai Wei left Yukun Palace and went to Shouning Palace, where the Empress Dowager lived.

The Empress Dowager has not asked about the harem for many years, except for the affairs of her mother's family, and all the rest of her energy is used to eat fasting and chanting Buddha.

Cai Wei and Nangong Yi arrived at Shouning Palace, and the housekeeper's grandmother welcomed them in.

There are three warm pavilions where the Empress Dowager lives, and the design is opened, perhaps for the convenience of heating, the east side is separated by a twenty-four screen bird screen, and the west side is separated by a multi-treasure pavilion.

Entering the middle of the warm pavilion, it is enshrined a statue of more than a foot of white jade Guanyin, the white jade Guanyin is placed in the Buddha shrine carved by agarwood, in the candlelight, Guanyin jade statue is kind and kind, looking down on the beings in the hall.

In front of the shrine is a long table, on which are placed coral pagodas, diamond sutras, and wooden fish of Nanmu, a three-legged incense burner, and a bunch of burning incense sticks, and a silver tray with chiseled patterns next to it, offering some fresh fruits.

The Empress Dowager sat on the stepping bed, thin and thin, her hair was white, she looked sixty or seventy years old, she wore a weft brocade cyan undecorated jacket, there was no such thing as vermilion and gold and jade on her head, only a wipe on her forehead, she looked very plain, but her spirit was very good.

Nangong Yi took Cai Wei to bow down, and gave tea to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager took Cai Wei's tea, gave Cai Wei a jade gift of Guanyin, and instructed her to put it in the inner room, and it would be good to offer three incense sticks every day.

After a few words of admonition, the Empress Dowager suddenly said to Nangong Yi: "I heard that Fu'er's kid doesn't have an official position now, and he is not young anymore, and he should share his worries for the emperor. ”

The Fu'er in the mouth of the Queen Mother is Ji Wanfu, the prince of the British princess, who was once beaten by Cai Wei in Jufu, and also instructed several prostitutes to beat Cai Wei, but it didn't work out.

Nangong Yi has long heard of Ji Wanfu's absurdity, this guy is a gentleman who wanders in the streets and willows all day long, the king in the smoke village, and the leader of the alliance at the Mandarin Duck Club, he will definitely be able to do a good job in giving him prostitution and gambling money, but if he gives him the matter of receiving the envoys, in the end, those envoys are afraid that they will all have to be invited to the Qinglou by him

Such a person, Nangong Yi is disgusted when he sees it, so he naturally won't use him to do things, besides, he has always been close to the Queen Mother, and he won't take her requests to heart.

Since childhood, the grandmother of the Empress Dowager has never taken care of his grandson once, when he was a child, several times their mother and son were forced to be cornered by Concubine Jin and Nangong Shi, and he ran to Shouning Palace to ask for the protection of the Empress Dowager, but was ruthlessly rejected by the Empress Dowager.

Because at that time, she always thought that it would be Nangong Shi who would ascend to the throne, therefore, in order to avoid being suspected by Concubine Jingui's mother and son, she has been deliberately alienating Nangong Yi's mother and son, and she has always been very indifferent to their mother and son, so in Nangong Yi's heart, the empress dowager, the imperial grandmother, is just a title, and there is no emotional component in it

"At present, all the officials are performing their duties, and there is no suitable position for him," Nangong Yi said indifferently.

The empress dowager's eyes dimmed a little, how she was before

How did she treat Nangong Yi before, she naturally knew that people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that it would be Nangong Yi who would end up on the big treasure, she knew that this was the case, she would leave a little leeway for herself and her mother's family, and she would not be so ruthless to Nangong Yi's mother and son, and now, it really makes her regret it

Although she didn't treat Nangong Yi's mother and son well before, she still had a glimmer of hope at this time, hoping that Nangong Yi's mother and son could abide by filial piety and continue to be filial to her regardless of previous suspicions. Because no matter what, she is Nangong Yi's grandmother, and the monarch of the Great Jin Dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, so even if she did something wrong in the past, he should be obedient and respectful to her.

In order to test him, she deliberately took out her mother's family to talk about things, but it turned out that Nangong Yi had a grudge.

He directly rejected her and did not agree to her request, that is, he would not take care of her mother's family in the future, and if he didn't do it, he would take revenge on her by stabbing her mother's family

The Empress Dowager sat stiffly for a while, and said unrelentingly: "The mourning family heard that the envoys from all over the world who came to celebrate the emperor's enthronement have lived in the royal post house, and Fu'er is the most sociable, so it's better to let Fu'er entertain those envoys."

Nangong Yi said expressionlessly: "The Empress Dowager said that it was late, and I have already explained the matter of entertaining the envoys to someone else, and that person has done a good job, so it is inconvenient to change them at will."

Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager has fully understood that the emperor is holding a grudge, her heart is cold, her back is sweaty, and an ominous premonition arises spontaneously

Nangong Yi didn't stay here for long, only toasted tea, and took Cai Wei back to his Chengqian Palace.

Back in Chengqian Palace, Cai Wei quickly threw off the embroidered shoes on her feet, and fell on the treasure couch carved with rosewood hollow carving, shouting: "I'm tired, I want to sleep"

Nangong Yi got up on the second watch today, and has been busy until now, and he is a little tired, seeing Cai Wei lying on the couch, lazy like a cat, so he also took off his boots and went up to the couch, hugged Cai Wei and said, "Sleep with you for your husband"

"Hmm"

Cai Wei answered, her arms around his waist, her head against his chest, and the two of them hugged each other without disobedience.

The sleeping couch of Chengqian Palace is a delicate wooden kang, and the outside is a hollow carved pass of rosewood: "The emperor went to the Shuntian Palace to invite the envoys of the ministers and countries to congratulate, and ordered not to wake you up, so that you can sleep until you wake up naturally."

Cai Wei looked at the burning red candlestick and asked, "What time is it?"

Calling Qiu: "If you go back to your mother, it's time"

Cai Wei raised her forehead, "Ah, it's all this time"

Sure enough, it is a big bed in the palace, and it is extraordinarily fragrant when I sleep, and I am also extraordinarily energetic after waking up

Cai Wei went down to the field, feeling a little hungry, so she ordered her to go down and ask someone to prepare something light for her to supper.

After a while, Pei Yao walked into Cai Wei and Nangong Yi's cave room, and said, "Niangniang, supper is ready, please taste it."

Cai Wei walked out of the dormitory of the cave room, and came to a room outside for dinner, and saw a round table carved with red sandalwood, with seven or eight kinds of side dishes and four or five staple dishes on a five-inch white-edged white porcelain plate, among which a bowl of green stalk porridge was still steaming faintly.

Cai Wei sat down, and a palace maid came over with a gold-plated basin, knelt on the ground and asked her to clean her hands.

The water in the basin is filled with rose petals, soaphorn, angelica, atractylodes, etc., which are said to be the secret recipe of the palace, and after washing hands, it can not only play a role in cleansing, but also have the effect of whitening and moisturizing.

She washed her hands, picked up a few crystal steamed dumplings, and slowly finished eating the small dishes and porridge, and asked Chunliu to give her leftovers to the next people to eat.

After Chunliu went out, Zhaoqiu whispered to Caiwei: "Niangniang, the hot water has been prepared, you can wash it quickly, the emperor will be back soon."
