Chapter 202: The Emperor's Husband and Wife Besieged the City
At this time, the first queen to stay in the Kunning Palace of the Beijing Imperial Palace, ,—— Empress Zhang, was also as depressed as Wu Wu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning, she married Zhu Gaochi and helped him go through so many difficult years step by step, until now he has ascended to the throne.
Between the two husbands and wives, even though they have passed the era of intense love, they have always respected each other and been honest with each other.
Even if it's just a look, they can understand each other's minds.
But now, she suddenly felt that even if Zhu Gaochi tried to make a gesture of raising eyebrows with her, he would accompany her to dinner and enjoy the flowers in the garden.
But Empress Zhang no longer feels the sense of presence in front of her husband.
The husband who used to be submissive to her and shared weal and sorrow is gone, replaced by a high emperor.
More often than not, she needs to bend flattery, and even speculate on the holy will.
You know, what they tried to speculate about in the past was what other people meant.
Now, between husband and wife, there is also a need to speculate, hasn't that also become the common "other" in their eyes?
Maybe Zhu Gaochi also realized this, after all, he can have today, Empress Zhang is indispensable, he knows this deeply.
What's more, they also have a foreign enemy, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, who is watching every move of the palace in Shandong.
Zhu Gaochi tried to be very easy-going in front of Zhang Cuiyun, but Zhang Cuiyun didn't dare to be casual anymore.
It's just weird, the yellow dragon robe on Zhu Gaochi's body dazzled the queen.
At this moment, she finally understood that it was not their hearts that changed, but the honor brought by the yellow robe.
No wonder so many people have to shed blood for that yellow robe!
In the past, if Zhu Gaochi made Zhang Cuiyun unhappy, she only needed to ignore him for a few days, and the lonely Zhu Gaochi would immediately understand her mistake and come to her.
But now, if Zhang Cuiyun and Zhu Gaochi have a cold war, then it will be good.
The newly sealed dozen concubines just had the opportunity to approach the emperor and flatter them in every way, so that the emperor didn't have time to be depressed, let alone reflect on his mistakes.
Zhu Gaochi was in the flowers, and he was never tired, how could he remember that there was a wife with knotted hair who was crying silently and was secretly hurting herself?
Even if you remember, I'm afraid you won't have time to comfort me.
Over time, snubbing Queen Zhang has become the norm.
However, in the past, she was used to being alone in the Prince's Mansion, and Empress Zhang has not yet adapted to the current feeling of being looked down upon and despised.
The winter solstice festival has arrived, and the palace dependents and ministers are all wearing yangsheng complements and python clothes. Draw more sheep in the room......
Empress Zhang began to organize the first festival of the new emperor's accession to the throne, because of this festival, as a rule, the emperor must come to spend with the queen.
This may be the best time to repair the relationship between the two of them.
The crown princess Sun Lingwei volunteered to help.
Because Sun Lingwei has been in the palace for many years, he is naturally familiar with the operation of the Winter Solstice Festival.
Of course, Empress Zhang was full of joy.
She and the crown princess personally designed every corner of the palace, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed what kind of sheep paintings should be hung in those places in Kunning Palace.
"Queen Mother, I still remember that year, when I entered the palace, it was just in time for the Winter Solstice Festival......" Sun Lingwei suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, it was the Winter Solstice Festival of the seventh year of Yongle, you were just 8 years old, and my mother took you into the palace for the first time."
Empress Zhang also suddenly remembered the scene of that day, "Father suddenly asked you, why are these people wearing sheep and goats?" ”
"After the winter solstice, the yin energy gradually declines, and the yang energy begins to grow, and the Tang "Xinhua Yan Sutra" says: 'The first yang is born in November, the second yang is born in December, and the third yang is born in the first month.' Therefore, there is a goat (or sheep) pattern in the complement of the winter solstice auspicious clothes, which is homophonic to 'yang, sheng'. In addition, themes such as "Sanyang Kaitai" and "Sheep Prince" are also commonly used in winter clothing, fabrics or jewelry. The emperor embroidered the dragon pattern Yangsheng complement. Everybody knows that. ”
Sun Ling blurted out slightly, and the answer was like a stream.
Empress Zhang was suddenly very touched.
She looked at Sun Lingwei in front of her again, and she was no longer the ignorant and fearless little folk girl who broke into the Jinluan Palace alone.
She sighed: "I remember that at that time, we were all taken aback, how could the emperor ask a little girl from the people this question?
Now it seems that in fact, the father was originally satisfied with you being the princess of Zhan'er. But I can't think of it anymore...... Perhaps, this is the so-called 'unfathomable Sacred Heart'. ”
At this time, Sun Lingwei's crisp voice like a silver bell on the main hall that day seemed to be still echoing in the palace, but the face in front of him could no longer find a little innocence.
"Wei'er, the years are really a pig-killing knife, I think back then, when you answered this, you were still a child, but in the blink of an eye, you became a child!"
Empress Zhang looked at Sun Lingwei and sighed sadly.
"Queen Mother, you mean that Wei'er is old. Wei'er is also a woman. This woman, as long as she has been pampered and loved, is as delicate as a flower at the age of 40. But if you go through too many things, it will indeed become unrecognizable. ”
Sun Ling touched his cheek and said with some vicissitudes.
"Yes, maybe that's what people often say, 'each other is born from the heart'. Your heart is bitter, how can your appearance be sweet? ”
Empress Zhang sighed with emotion, and at the same time stretched out her hand, pinched Sun Lingwei's pink and delicate face with some envy and jealousy, and said with a smile:
"Wei'er, where are you old, you are only 23 years old, which is the best age for a woman, not to mention, you are naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, and you are not allowed to say frustrating words. The queen mother was not born a beautiful embryo like you, but in the past few years, she has been frightened and painstakingly planned with your father, and she is really old. ”
Sun Ling held Queen Zhang's hands with some grievances, "Queen Mother, where do you speak, what about the beauty?" What if it's not a beauty? Queen Mother, you also said that I am a beauty, since I was a child, people around me have praised me as a beauty, you have watched me grow up all the way, my life in this harem, is it really good? ”
At this time, Sun Lingwei's eyes were already a little red when she said this, but she blinked her eyes, and forced the tears of grievance and sadness in her eyes, and said with a smile:
"My father has always respected you, you must know that it is impossible for me to get such respect in my life, because the crown princess will always be the main palace, and I will always be the side room."
At this time, Empress Zhang looked at Sun Lingwei's forbearance and couldn't help but feel heartache.
She held Sun Ling's slightly cold little hand with her backhand and sighed, "What a cool little hand!" You're suffering. I'll call the doctor in a few days to recuperate for you. You can rest assured, as long as there is a queen mother in one day, no one will want to bully you. (To be continued.) )
