Chapter 083 Empress Dowager Chen returns to the palace

Now in Beijing, Lin Jue is seriously injured and bedridden, Li Yibai, the king of Yonghe County, is closed to thank guests, and the prince is also a low-key person, only the six princes are jumping very hard, and the imperial historian quickly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed his sword at the six princes.

Li Yibai just smiled when he heard this, the Yellow River burst its banks, and more than 1,000 families downstream were displaced. In the end, the sixth child is still too public, and the Chen Hou faction is limited to look at it.

When the spring flowers were blooming in March, the Emperor Taishang, who had been resting in the palace, suddenly returned to Beijing, that is, Li Yibai was still thinking about it behind closed doors, but it was not easy not to greet him.

The sedan chair of the Emperor Taishang traveled all the way from outside the city to the inner palace, which was greeted by the emperor in person, and the Emperor Taishang did not get off the sedan chair to see each other, so that there were all discussions inside and outside the palace. Emperor Hongzheng is also easy to cultivate, and he followed him all the way back to the palace in a sedan chair, without the slightest annoyance.

After returning to the palace, as soon as the grandson and his brother and daughter saw each other, the Emperor Taishang left Prince Zhongshun alone to speak, and Emperor Hongzheng followed the Empress Dowager Chen to the Kunning Palace of Empress Chen to speak.

Empress Dowager Chen smiled and took Empress Chen's hand and said: "The mourning family has not been in the palace for a long time, and the whole harem is really bitter for you thanks to you." ”

Empress Chen and Empress Dowager Chen are the aunts and nephews of their relatives, and when they saw Empress Dowager Chen, they didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Where did the Empress Dowager say, the concubines are in charge of the harem for the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, how dare you say that it is hard." It's the queen mother, everything in the palace is good, but it's a little deserted in the end, so it's better to move back and live, so that Your Majesty and the concubines can do their filial piety. ”

Empress Dowager Chen smiled, "Knowing that you are filial, this person is old, so he wants to be quiet, and he is also noisy in the palace every morning and dusk, so it is better to be comfortable in the palace." You really have this filial piety, why don't you let Yunzhu accompany my old man, she has always been able to talk and is used to making people happy. I'm just afraid that you will be reluctant to become your father and queen mother. ”

Empress Chen hurriedly said: "Where will I be reluctant, if Yunzhu can really serve the Queen Mother on behalf of Her Majesty and the concubines, then it will be her blessing." It's just that...... Now Yunzhu is also married, but I don't know how long I can accompany the Queen Mother. ”

The smile on Empress Dowager Chen's face faded, she let go of the hand holding Empress Chen, and gently stroked the golden hairpin on her sideburns, "That's right, Yunzhu is also big now, which one is promised now?" Although the mourning family's eyes are not good now, their eyesight is still a little bit, and they can also help them grow their eyes. This girl's marriage is a lifelong event, how can you promise lightly, you still need to pick a pick. ”

Empress Chen was slightly blessed and said: "Yunzhu has also reached her age, and the year before last, His Majesty named her Princess Jiang Yun, and she was married to the new eldest son of the Fan Zitong family, the envoy of the Jingying Festival. ”

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Chen said, "The emperor has seen that child?" ”

Emperor Hongzheng smiled: "Erchen has never seen it, but that Fan Zitong is a rare talent, but he is just pedantic, I don't know if his son will follow him?" ”

Empress Chen hurriedly said: "Listening to his mother's meaning, this child has always been a gentle temper, and he is just right for our Yunzhu. ”

Empress Dowager Chen frowned and said: "Appearance and temperament are secondary, but this identity is too low." That Fan Zitong is just a Jingying Festival envoy, and he doesn't even have a knighthood, let alone his son. Look at the ...... of the mourning family"

"Auntie......" Empress Chen hurriedly interrupted Empress Dowager Chen's words, and when she saw that Mrs. Chen was displeased, she had to bite the bullet and say, "Auntie, Yun'er and his daughter-in-law have been waiting outside for a long time, why don't you call the children in first?" ”

Empress Dowager Chen exchanged a look with Emperor Hongzheng, then nodded, "Let the prince lead these little ones in, the mourning family hasn't seen them for a long time, and they really want to panic." ”

Hearing the news from the inner chamberlain, the crown prince Li Yiyang led a group of brothers and sisters into the inner room to greet the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Chen smiled and called everyone up, squinting her eyes at Li Yiyang, who was standing at the front, "This is the crown prince, come over and tell grandmother to take a look." The mourning family remembers that when he left Beijing, the prince had just gotten married, and now the children are running all over the ground, right? ”

The crown prince didn't see any discoloration on his face, walked to the Empress Dowager Chen and knelt down, and said with a smile, "The imperial grandmother remembers well, the grandson has been married for ten years now, but the child is only one and a half years old, but he can't run all over the ground." ”

Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile: "That's okay, that's okay, let the princess bring the great-grandson of the mourning family tomorrow, and the mourning family can have a good kiss." ”

Li Yiyang responded with a smile, and said: "It's still a little twelve, and now there is a big house of sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law in the family, and our brothers combined, they can't compare to him." ”

Empress Dowager Chen is also old now, and she has been away from Beijing for a long time, so she really can't remember how many grandchildren she has. When he heard the prince mention it, he asked the group of people standing below, "Which one is Little Twelve, come and show Grandmother." ”

Li Yibai walked out of the crowd and knelt under the Empress Dowager Chen with the crown prince, "Grandson Li Yibai, I have seen the imperial grandmother." ”

Empress Dowager Chen smiled: "Okay, let your princess bring the children over tomorrow." ”

Li Yibai also responded with a smile.

Empress Chen secretly pinched her handkerchief on the side, and also wanted to interject to call the six princes over. It's just that the Queen Mother has been upset because of the matter of Yunzhu, and this is really not a good time. Obviously, he wanted to ask his sixth prince to show his face in front of Empress Dowager Chen, but he didn't want to cheapen the prince and Li Yibai, which was really miscalculated.

Emperor Hongzheng glanced at Empress Chen, who was full of unwillingness, and in the end, the pattern was not a little worse than that of Empress Yuan, who was born in a family. When Empress Yuan was alive, he still really loved the twelve princes born of the palace maids, which is like today's Empress Chen, except for his own son and daughter, he is very mean to other princes. Now for the sake of the throne, he even uses his own daughter's relatives, which is really not enough.

Although the Empress Dowager Chen is very well raised, she is old after all, and although she doesn't have to walk by herself all the way, she is tired enough just to take the car. After meeting a few grandchildren and talking to the emperor for a while, he went to rest, and the prince also led a few brothers to quit first.

Emperor Hongzheng sent Empress Chen away and accompanied his mother to talk.

"Queen Mother, is this journey still peaceful?"

Empress Dowager Chen was very disliked Empress Yuan, probably because her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were enemies since they came, which led to Empress Chen's ascension to the throne. Empress Chen is the niece of Empress Dowager Chen, and it is in the interests of Empress Dowager Chen that she is the queen. It's just that in the end, he is still a son, especially after Empress Chen became the queen, she also wanted to hold the power of the harem in her own hands, and Empress Dowager Chen didn't want to let go of power, and the contradiction between the two deepened for a while. However, later, the Emperor Taishang took refuge outside Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Chen accompanied him, which made the contradiction between the aunt and nephew gradually fade. Now that Empress Dowager Chen has returned to Beijing, she wants to meddle in the princess's marriage, how can Empress Chen be willing.

Empress Dowager Chen patted Emperor Hongzheng's hand, "Under the rule of the emperor, there is a peaceful and prosperous world, how can it not be peaceful." ”

Emperor Hongzheng is in his forties, but he is like a child who has been praised, "It is the queen mother who loves the emperor, so she feels that everything is good under the emperor's rule." ”

Seeing that her son was still so close to her, Empress Dowager Chen was in a very good mood, and the little unhappiness caused by Empress Chen disappeared, and she turned to talk to the emperor about family things.

Emperor Hongzheng knew the temper of the Empress Dowager Chen, and patiently chatted a few words, and then said casually: "The climate of the summer resort is pleasant, and it is the most suitable place to live, but it is not as complete as Beijing." I had long thought about taking my mother and my father back, but my father never allowed it, but he didn't want to come back suddenly, which surprised and delighted me. The queen mother is the same, and she doesn't inform me in advance, so I can send someone to pick you up. Although the rule of officials is still peaceful, but there was a disaster in the south before, and it is inevitable that there will be such small people, looking at the wealth and wealth, they will move their hearts. Now that I think about it, I am also afraid. ”

Empress Dowager Chen smiled: "It's not that there are no guards, how can you be succeeded by some thieves?" You, a child, are always so delicate, and your benefits are well known to the queen mother. ”

After thinking about it, he sneered again, "This child is still playing with his mother." Don't you just want to know why your father suddenly returned to the palace, and you haven't told the truth to your mother, it can be seen that your mind is getting heavier and heavier now. ”

Emperor Hongzheng smiled and generously admitted, "The son is not afraid of this question, but he doesn't seem to want to call the queen mother back." I also think about my mother, since I am the emperor, I always have no leisure, and I want to visit my mother several times, but I am stumped by everything, and it is really my son who is not filial. ”

Empress Dowager Chen didn't care, "You are the emperor, you control the life and death of the people in the world, how can you do what you want." My emperor wants to be the king of the ages, and the queen mother has nothing to worry about, and the food and clothing are excellent. There are also palace maids who make fun of it, you don't have to worry so much. ”

Speaking of the Emperor's thoughts, "Don't you know your father, I have also heard about the Yellow River flooding before." You must have checked that too, and you should know who did it. This is not a trivial matter, you can't not deal with it ruthlessly, isn't he thinking about his precious son, and he just came back. This is to pinch you and prevent you from disposing of his precious son. ”

If you want to talk about the heart and soul of the emperor, it must be Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun's mother concubine is the most favored concubine Xu Taigui, when Xu Taiguifei was favored, the middle palace was simply overwhelmed, and the throne of Emperor Hongzheng almost changed hands.

Speaking of which, the middle palace lineage and the Xu Taigui family have been in conflict for a long time. Concubine Xu, there was a Prince Yizhong before, so there is no need to mention it, he has long been gone because of his crime, this is the forbidden matter of the royal family, that is, the current Hongzheng Emperor, and he does not dare to mention it in front of the Emperor.

Emperor Hongzheng has not been loyal to Prince Shun for so many years, and it is really not that he is benevolent. Now that the emperor is still there, he, the emperor, will inevitably be restrained, so he can only endure it. Earlier, the emperor left Beijing, and he still had some less restraints, but he didn't dare to really move his loyalty, which always made him secretly hate. Now protecting the prince like this, I haven't seen my original shadow in the prince and empathizes.

Emperor Hongzheng sighed, "I didn't want to be loyal to him, but he did a bit too much this time." Although the current evidence does not clearly point to him, but now that the witness has been escorted to Beijing, even if he has thousands of reasons, he cannot ignore my border, which is really very rare for me. ”

Empress Dowager Chen sneered, "What is not embarrassing, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he colluded with foreign clans and tried to violate my border, even Emperor Gaozu is here, and he can't be spared." You don't have to worry about your father, who is getting more and more confused now that he is older. Loyalty, there is no need to be stingy with the title of an idle prince, he is raised with good food and drink, and he has found an opportunity......" Empress Dowager Chen made a throat-cutting motion, her eyes full of fierceness.

"It's just my father's ......"

"You don't have to worry over there, it's not that you have to deal with Zhongshun right away, after all, if such a thing spreads, it will hinder the reputation of the royal family. Find a reason for the side, and put Zhongshun under house arrest. It's not up to you to decide how many years you can live. ”

Emperor Hongzheng then stopped talking. Empress Dowager Chen's ability to kill and make decisions is not lacking, if you call Emperor Hongzheng to do it, it's just that, but you still have to ask Empress Dowager Chen, otherwise with Empress Dowager Chen's temperament, I'm afraid it will be easy to give birth to other messes.

Empress Dowager Chen was very satisfied with her son's attitude, and her face was full of kindness, "You have been busy all day, and you are tired of thinking about it, I don't need you to accompany me here." I heard that you took a girl from the Jia family, I have some relationship with the Jia family, you call her to come to me later, I will take a look at her. ”

Emperor Hongzheng had no choice but to respond, just about a concubine, the queen mother liked it, just to go over, and he had nothing to give up. The value of Concubine Xiande, for Emperor Hongzheng, has been almost used, and this woman's current existence is just an ornament. Who really cares about a little ornament?
