Empress Dong was half-lying on the kang, looking at the snow flying under the porch outside the window, maintaining this posture motionless.

"Niangniang, please cherish your body and take a bite." Gui Zhi took breakfast and persuaded bitterly.

Yesterday, the queen didn't touch a single meal for three meals, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last a few days.

The queen didn't even give her the corners of her eyes, and suddenly said, "Spring is about to begin." ”

Gui Zhi followed her line of sight, and at the foot of the palace wall and in the heavy snow, there were already stars green.

Although she didn't understand why the queen suddenly mentioned this, she still followed the queen's words and said: "Yes, look at this posture, it's not far from spring." ”

The queen looked far away, and said slowly: "When I entered the palace, it also snowed a lot. At that time, the aunts said that this was a good omen. ”

Hearing the queen mention the old things, Gui Zhi hurriedly lowered his hand and bowed his head.

The first time I saw him, he was only a grandson, and he looked at me and smiled in a dark gold-striped regular robe. He smiled so beautifully, I thought at that time, I can be his wife, I am really the luckiest person in the world. I have suffered so much before, probably just to meet him. Being a princess is considered to be bitter, right? She smiled lowly, with an indescribable desolation in her smile, "In the first year, he treated me with respect, and in the second and third years...... I was looking forward to it, I didn't look forward to the child, but I looked forward to her! ”

The queen's gaze changed, "The first time I saw her, I knew that His Highness would definitely like her." Later, Zhuang became more and more favored, and his eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at her, so gentle that I was afraid. I'm his wife, why has he never seen me like that? ”

Maybe yes, that year, he also looked forward to being able to join hands with this wife for the rest of his life.

But then, everything changed.

"To this day, he no longer regards me as a wife. Guizhi, you say, where did I do wrong! Where! She blinked into tears, pounded the bed and said, "Obviously I met him first, obviously I am his rightful wife!" Why let her be the first to climb and the last! And I can only be trapped in this Kunning Palace, bearing the false name of the queen in vain! "Oh," she laughed out loud, "I'm afraid that it won't be long before even the name of the queen will have to be handed over." ”

Gui Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Niangniang must not be discouraged. You are the master of the harem, and the old lady and the emperor still have affection for you in their hearts. You must not disturb yourself. ”

"Affection, affection" she shook her head with a wry smile and sighed, "Where is there any affection." ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang" The little eunuch kowtowed outside the hall in a panic, "Gonggong Tan is here, in the palace, please go over to receive the decree." ”

"Look, here it is." The queen scoffed and struggled to get up.

Gui Zhi asked the little eunuch while helping her, "Is it a verbal decree or a clear decree, can you see it?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The queen sat down in front of the dresser by herself, looked at her haggard face, and said with a smile: "It's not okay to accept orders like this" She glanced at the little eunuch who was still kneeling in place, "You go back to Tan Chen, just say that I want to dress up, let him wait a while." Presumably, he didn't care about waiting for me any longer. In the last sentence, her voice faded, but more like talking to herself.

"The minions obey." The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed, and ran away with a smoke.

The queen washed her hands and began to slowly adjust the fat and powder.

She drew her eyebrows and said, "Guizhi, go and take out my court clothes." ”

The dark color is the base, and the dark red trim is a very solemn color. The waist and skirt sleeves are embroidered with phoenix patterns.

It is said that people depend on their clothes.

As soon as the queen put on this dress, the original decadent color was swept away, and it was replaced by the dignity of the world.

She is the empress and is qualified to stand side by side with the emperor and share the worship of hundreds of officials.

She deserves this dignity.

So, let her be honored one last time.

She tucked the neckline of the diagonal placket and slowly smoothed out the little wrinkles on her dress.

"Niangniang, the slave maid will put on the phoenix crown for you." Gui Zhi calmly held the brocade plate and said.

The queen nodded, and watched as Guizhi helped her curl up her hair and insert a single hairpin to fix it.

Then came the gorgeous and heavy phoenix crown.

Gui Zhi picked it up with both hands, carefully placed it on the queen's head, and fixed it with a few short hairpins.

Finally, he smoothed out the hanging pearl strings, withdrew his hand, and bent his knees and said, "Niangniang, put it on." ”

The queen looked left and right in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "I have never felt that this phoenix crown is so light." It's like you're not wearing it. She touched the golden phoenix crown in a trance, as if to confirm whether it really existed.

"Alright, let's go." She stretched out her hand and let Guizhi help her to stand up, and walked towards the main hall step by step.

The palace people waiting outside followed silently, and a column of people marched towards the direction of the main hall.

The tea in Tan Chen's hand had already been replaced, and it was now half warm.

But he sat still, glancing at the clock slowly, without a hint of impatience on his face.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

The singing finally sounded, Tan Chen slowly got up, bowed down, and said, "The slave has seen the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old." (To be continued.) )
