Regarding Wang Xinhui's marriage to his son, the old couple of the Zhao family had a lot of complaints, but because of what their son did, they didn't keep quiet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mrs. Zhao, from now on, has been strictly guarding Wang Xinhui, and she is not allowed to go anywhere without her permission.
Wang Xinhui can't hold her head up in the Zhao family because of her premarital sex, she sweeps the floor and cooks every day, waits for the family, waits for her in-laws to wash her feet at night, gets up early in the morning, cooks the meal, waits for her in-laws to get up, goes in to greet her in-laws, and then takes and urine, all she does, she has no complaints. Because no matter what, she finally has a stable home, no longer coming and going in the wind and rain, and no longer worrying about not having a separate room.
Wang Xinhui's slave-like life continued until the four brothers worshipped him, and he was favored by Qiqige and was willing to accept them as apprentices, Wang Xinhui broke away from the Zhao family and followed Zhao Yuanling to Panlong Mountain.
Regarding Wang Xinhui's past, Zhao Yuankai knew a little bit intermittently, and Mrs. Zhao didn't tell him everything, for fear that he would not obey his brother Zhao Yuanling's discipline in the future, saying that he did not do it right when he was young, why should he be corrected? !
After Zhao Yuanling was killed, Li Ju became the emperor, and in less than half a year, he brought Zhao Yuankai into the palace as the minister of etiquette, sealed the Zhao family's homestead, and gave Zhao Chunbao a large mansion, and then took Wang Xinhui into the palace as the queen mother in the name of Zhao Yuanling as the first emperor.
Originally, Wang Xinhui entered the palace to be the queen mother, and the Zhao family was overjoyed, feeling that Li Ju had become the emperor and did not treat the Zhao family badly. But what happened next made them feel as sick as if they had eaten a fly.
It is said that not long after Wang Xinhui entered the palace, one afternoon, Li Ju went to Jing'an Palace with the strength of wine, and he said to the father-in-law and palace maid in the palace.
"You stand down, I have something important to discuss with the Queen Mother."
Li Ju sat next to Wang Xinhui, recounted his lovesickness for her over the years, and finally took Wang Xinhui's hand.
"Xinhui, we can finally meet every day!"
Wang Xinhui retracted her hand, she saw Li Ju drinking, and said.
"Your Majesty, we are all married and have children, in this case, don't talk about it in the future, you still call me sister-in-law!"
"I have never treated you as a sister-in-law, you are the Xinhui in my heart!"
Li Ju held Wang Xinhui's hand and put it on his chest and said.
"Your Majesty, don't, I'm old now, don't mention the past! The children are getting older day by day, and the emperor should also take care of the royal decency! ”
Wang Xinhui wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't.
"Xinhui, how old are you? Is it called old? Are you going to be a widow like this? Xin Hui, the emperor's son, whoever likes to do it, as long as I have you, Xin Hui, follow me, I will take good care of you in the future! ”
As he spoke, Li Ju hugged Wang Xinhui in his arms, Wang Xinhui wanted to break free, where could he break free.
has been widowed for nearly a year, Wang Xinhui, who is thirty, is full of femininity, where can she stand such a teasing by Li Ju, half pushed, half pushed, and was hugged by Li Ju to bed!
"Xinhui!" Li Ju held the face that he thought about day and night and kissed it deeply.
"Brother Ju! Don't do this! Wang Xinhui murmured: "Brother Ju, Brother Ju! Yes! ”
Since then, Li Ju often has important matters to discuss with the Queen Mother Wang Xinhui, and the palace maids and eunuchs in Jing'an Palace will automatically withdraw as long as they see Li Ju going, because they know that as soon as the emperor comes, there will be important matters to discuss with the Queen Mother.
In less than two months, Li Ju was no longer satisfied with sneaking around with Wang Xinhui, reviewing the recitals at night, and in the middle of the night, when all the palaces were resting, he would sneak to Jing'an Palace. What's more, he simply stayed in Jing'an Palace openly.
There is no one in the harem who dares to talk nonsense, mentioning that the emperor is in Jing'an Palace, just saying that there is something important to discuss with the queen mother, and everyone knows it.
No matter how dense the harem is, it can't hide it from the minister, which minister doesn't deal with his father-in-law? The powerful father-in-law, the minister must give favors, in order to get inside information, to understand what the emperor is thinking every day, as for the matter of Li Ju and Wang Xinhui in the harem, it will be spread out from the father-in-law's mouth.
The first person in the Zhao family to hear a little wind was Zhao Yuankai. He sat idle with the old man and the old lady, and when he mentioned this, he was extremely angry. Master Zhao warned him: "It's just that there is no such thing, it's all villains chewing their tongues behind their backs, the emperor's affairs, being an official, don't dare to talk nonsense, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, and no minister has mentioned it to you, why do you want to touch yourself in the dark." Having said that, even if the emperor has such a thing with her, who can control it? She is a widow and does not live in our Zhao family, what she does has nothing to do with our Zhao family. Now that she is the queen mother, she can do whatever she wants, and the queen mother of the harem is lonely in the past, and she has two faces. ”
Master Zhao used all kinds of words to appease Zhao Yuankai, but in fact, when he said this, the person who was really comforted was himself.
On the first anniversary of Zhao Yuanling's death, the Queen Mother Wang Xinhui went out of the palace for the first time, and after the worship, she arrived at the Zhao Mansion, where the seventy-year-old Lord Zhao and Mrs. Zhao led the whole house to kneel down to greet her.
The ceremonial officials in the palace moved out such a number of etiquette to inform the Zhao Mansion that although Zhao Yuanling was named the first emperor, it had nothing to do with their Zhao family, they were still courtiers, not imperial relatives, just state relatives.
This kind of etiquette, Master Zhao is very useful, and he feels that the Queen Mother Wang Xinhui has drawn a line with the Zhao Mansion, which is the best! What Wang Xinhui does, it has nothing to do with the Zhao family's style.
Li Ju was still thinking about some major events that had happened in the north.
Since Wang Yilong came to meet him last time and told him that Chen Yu had been taken to the south by Yue Xiao, he was very shocked.
He never thought that Chen Yu would be forced to go to the south, which was a tragedy for the north. Li Ju listened to Wang Yilong's analysis and fully agreed that he kept Chen Yao by his side in order to contain Chen Yu, who would grow up in the future.
Li Ju had no opinion at all about Wang Xinhui's sending Yanzi to Zhennan Wangfu, protecting Chen Yao was like protecting a fierce general, and he even instigated Wang Xinhui to send Gonggong De to Zhennan Wangfu to protect Chen Yao. Wang Xinhui looked at him and smiled: You are the emperor, and you will order him to pass.
After listening to Wang Xinhui's words, Li Ju's face drooped, and he didn't propose that Gonggong De go to Zhennan Wangfu.
On this matter, although Li Ju is the emperor, he does not dare to make an order for Father-in-law De, because he knows that Father-in-law De stays by Wang Xinhui's side, but it is Master Qiqige's idea. He didn't know Kikige's intentions, but Kikige's arrangement, he didn't have the courage to change it privately. Although Master Qiqige never asked about the affairs of the court.
has only been stable for a few years, and now he has jumped out of Zhao Chunbao's tiring business.
Li Ju thought that it would be really difficult to separate Zhao Chunbao from Wang Yilong, he was different from Zhao Yuankai, Zhao Yuankai had nothing to do with Wang Yilong, and Zhao Chunbao was Wang Yilong's nephew.
Li Ju originally wanted to give the princess to Zhao Chunbao, but it was not appropriate to think about it, Zhao Chunbao was by his side, and he always couldn't sleep well.
Li Ju went through the ministers close to him in his mind, thinking that there could be such a minister who couldn't get along with Wang Yilong, and then there was a daughter of marriageable age at home who was married to Zhao Chunbao, so for Zhao Chunbao, compared with Wang Yilong, of course, it was still close to the old man's side. In this way, Zhao Chunbao and Wang Yilong are two forces among the ministers of the court.
Li Ju thought about it for a long time, and he thought of a person, this person was none other than Uncle Yang Tong, didn't he have a young lady in his family who was waiting for him from the boudoir? !
