Chapter 1 Falling Phoenix into a Rooster 1
In just a few days, the news of what happened in the hunting ground that afternoon had spread throughout the government and the opposition.
There were many people present that day, not to mention that there was never a shortage of people in the palace who feared that the world would not be chaotic. Although the matter was spread by the oil and vinegar, in any case, the bad relationship between the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother was well known. The situation between the DPRK and China is changing at a speed that is imperceptible to the naked eye every day.
The emperor first deposed a group of close ministers under the queen mother in the name of ineffective work. The Qin clan's military power has long been lost in the sun and moon, and most of the current troops are people he has secretly cultivated since he ascended the throne. Before that, the Son of Heaven was respectful to the Queen Mother, just to gradually consume her strength. The mother and son have reached the point of fighting each other, and before the Son of Heaven clears her last wings, the power-hungry Qin clan will surely launch a terrifying palace upheaval. This kind of conspiracy has long been self-evident.
It is precisely because of this that the young emperor will secretly search for the Qin family's lawlessness. She has relied on various means to climb to today's status, and she must have an unsightly past. Now, the position of the queen mother is categorically unretained. Although Yu Hao can't bear the charge of killing his mother, he doesn't have the so-called mother-son affection for the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the fact that blood was thicker than water, he wouldn't have endured it to this day.
And there is another way for him to publicly declare war with the Queen Mother, that is, the love of the emperor and queen who has been painstakingly maintained in front of everyone finally collapsed. Since Lingyu Shuangshu entered the palace, he has been specially favored in Chaofeng Palace. Even the greetings that the queen should have every afternoon were blocked out by the red door of the Lingguiren.
With the loss of power of the queen, Concubine Chen almost dominated the harem. The balance force that had been in place fell to the side at an extremely fast speed, and the ruins of the Middle Palace seemed to be destroyed in an instant with a strong wind. For this reason, Qin Suyue almost tried her best, and even waited in a low voice outside the Lingxian Palace to ask to see the emperor.
However, it is hopeless.
And just when he was at a loss, someone suddenly presented a secret guarantee. It was like a glimmer of bright sky light in the haze, illuminating the lifeless Chaofeng Palace.
The day in May of the ninth year of Showa was destined to go down in history. On this day, a earth-shaking event happened in the palace, and it was this time that completely reversed the stalemate.
That day, Yu Hao was changing clothes in the side room. After wearing civilian clothes, I suddenly heard a report from Dong Bi, the chief manager of the inner house, saying that the queen was waiting outside the palace in a dress, and the Tao had to report. If you can't see the emperor, you can't kneel here.
Qin Suyue was not a stubborn person, and she had never had such a time. Although he was slightly unhappy in his heart, he still did not refuse, but just tilted his head and asked, "What a big day is today?" ”
"Back to the emperor, there is nothing special today." The chief steward carefully examined the face of the Son of Heaven, "If it weren't for the fact that there is, it should have been the day of the harem to pay homage to the queen this month." ”
As they spoke, they walked out of the main hall. Sure enough, I saw that the queen was dressed in rose-red and white-beaded peacock pattern brocade, and the Bixia Zhai Feng embroidered with threads stretched out on her chest. The xia is draped in a splendid pattern of passionflower and Xiaoxiang, and a little rhinestone is dazzling in the sun.
The queen knelt down in front of the high steps with Chaofeng Palace, and her exquisite makeup became more and more colorful. She was also born delicate and elegant, but now she is dressed like this, but she is less soft on weekdays and more charming.
The Son of Heaven stood in front of the temple, and the eaves of the birds cast a trace of lead ash on his handsome face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the woman kneeling below for a long time, but did not say a word. He knew that the queen had done everything she could in order to see her. Perhaps this political marriage is not fair to a woman, but every time she thinks about how she got to the back seat, Yu Hao feels disgusted.
"The concubines and the people of Chaofeng Palace have seen the emperor, long live the emperor."
The woman suddenly looked up and met his puzzled gaze. At that moment, it was as if time was flowing backwards into water, vaguely what she looked like when she was canonized. It's just that now, there is an emotion in her eyes that doesn't belong to her - resentment. Rao has been obedient to her for many years, struggling between the Queen Mother and herself, and she has been neglected for a long time, and she will still be so unwilling.
Yu Hao suddenly had a premonition that the person kneeling in front of him would bring him unexpected surprise.
He didn't even take a step, he still stood under the eaves and looked at the queen coldly. Between them, there is no need to continue acting.
"What are you doing here, the six palaces are waiting for you."
"It's not the concubines who are waiting for the six palaces, it's the emperor." Qin Suyue raised a faint smile, "Right now, the concubines are waiting for the emperor in Xining Palace." ”
He only felt a chill in his heart, and said coldly: "Wait for me to do something." ”
"Today, it is rare for all palaces to gather, and the concubine wants to pray for the examination of the concubine Xian's fetus in front of everyone. After all, it was the emperor's first child, and since it was handed over to the concubine, the concubine did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. She said a lot in one breath, but she still didn't see the emperor's intention to let her get up, so she continued to bury her head, "The concubine specially came to invite the emperor, but also because she thought that the emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and he always has no time to take care of the concubine. ”
The Son of Heaven was silent for a long time, but stared at the woman intently, intending to find a trace of escape in her eyes. But she didn't. This calm and calm made me refuse for a while.
"Well, let's go and have a look."
Thinking that Concubine Xian was always reluctant to see people a while ago, he was not without worries. What's more, I haven't been to Xining Palace for half a month, so I should go to see it. Maybe the queen just wanted to use this incident to regain the prestige of the Middle Palace, but he thought too much.
A sedan chair had already been prepared outside the palace, but the Son of Heaven did not share a car with the queen as usual, but went straight into a solitary chariot. Qin Suyue was slightly stunned, but even though she regained her normal color, she helped Gui Mama's hand into the Fengluan car behind.
This place is not far from Xining Palace, even if it is not the same chariot, after entering the palace, the queen will naturally stand by the side of the Son of Heaven. However, as soon as he entered the hall, Yu Hao keenly felt the solemnity in the air. This did not stem from the shock that occurred at the same time as the emperor and queen. Maybe for the concubines, they know better what will happen next.
"Haven't you arrived yet?" The phoenix-crowned woman lightly swept the vacant seat beside Concubine Zhao.
"Back to Niangniang, the Hunan nobles are not in the palace." Concubine Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, "Xu is the first to go to Chaofeng Palace to pay respects, and he is probably already going back at this time." ”
"One less person doesn't matter." The Son of Heaven frowned slightly, and motioned for Concubine Xian to sit down first. Her face was much better than a few days ago, but she still had a vain complexion. Ordinary people are pregnant for May, and their belly should be slightly bigger, but Rao is a virtuous concubine is weak, and it shouldn't be like this.
