When Cui Hu returned to Dali in June, he was greeted by a sight that made him wonder if he had entered the wrong gate.

Half a year ago, Dali City, which was full of lights and laughter, has become deserted now, full of vegetarian lights, and the sound of silk and bamboo is not heard.

Cui Hu couldn't help frowning. He knew that Emperor Yuan Jiadi died early because of his heartbroken beloved, so he posthumously named his daughter Princess Xianyou, and did not bury her at will according to the example of a baby who died early, but buried her according to the rites of an adult princess. And the edict to the world: Where there is a lord's house, no feast music is allowed within three months. Now that the March period has passed, why is the city of Dali still so full of vegetarians, and there is no sound of joy?

When he sent someone to ask along the street, he learned that it was not Emperor Yuanjia who forced the people of the city to accompany him to mourn his beloved daughter, but that the people saw that the emperor and queen they respected were sad and sad because of the loss of their daughter, and spontaneously dressed in plain clothes and no longer sang and laughed.

As for why those dignitaries and dignitaries are so obedient and don't enjoy the joy of silk and bamboo, it is because they are afraid of hitting the muzzle of the gun, and His Majesty the Emperor is extremely sad, do you still dare to listen to songs and dances, be happy and happy, don't you want a black gauze hat?

Don't look at the emperor's majesty only banned their banquet music for three months, and two eyeless ministers saw that the March period expired, and they immediately sang and danced with silk and bamboo that they couldn't hold. As a result, the next day, Emperor Yuan Jia found out a bunch of their mistakes in the court, what corpses were vegetarian, dereliction of duty, scolded a dog's bloody head, and took off the black gauze hats of the two of them.

"Since then, those courtiers have been much more honest, especially these days, although the ban has passed, but the queen mother is sick in bed again, and the saint's temper has become more and more irritable, even if they have great courage, they don't dare to provoke the saint at this time." Yizhi personally took a hot towel and cleaned her husband's face and hands, while saying.

"The queen is sick again, didn't she say that Niangniang's phoenix body has been safe?"

"Originally, the mother's body was almost recuperated, but when the little princess went like this, which mother could stand it? The little princess has been gone for five days, and the queen still holds her tightly in her arms, and they are not allowed to take the little princess to be buried, and they say that the little princess is not dead, and her little body is still warm......"

Yizhi couldn't help but cry as she spoke. She has also experienced the pain of losing her child, and she has not yet come out of that pain, and she can simply empathize with Cai Wei's current state of mind, and she can't understand it anymore.

Cui Hu remembered his wife's grief after giving birth, and washed his face with tears every day, and his heart was about to break when he saw the sad look on his face. Although he thinks that he has a deep love for his wife among his husbands, compared with Emperor Yuan Jia's deep affection for Empress Zhou, it is simply a little inadequate.

Because no matter how much he cherishes his wife, he will not lose his cool because of a woman, but Emperor Yuanjia is different, his joys, sorrows, sorrows, fears and fears are all tied to Queen Zhou. He has been by Qin Fei's side for so many years, and he admires the eloquence and wisdom of his lord, and his only weakness is that he is too attached to a certain woman, or too affectionate. Every time my heart shakes because of her, I can't be calm and calm.

If it weren't for this shortcoming, Emperor Yuanjia would be perfect in Cui Hu's heart. And his shortcomings seem to be getting worse and worse. Previously, he was worried about the Zhou family, and he didn't delay his business, but this time, he didn't even have the mind to deal with military and political affairs, and directly transferred himself back to Dali from Shuzhong to handle the government affairs for him, so that he could free up time to concentrate on taking care of the queen.

No wonder Emperor Yuanjia didn't say the reason in the secret edict, only left a sentence and ordered him to return to Dali quickly, daring to do it for the sake of his own pick, he was arrested and taken back to be a coolie, he knew that this was the case, he should not have come back.

Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as he came back, before he could say a few words to his wife, he was called to the palace by Qin Fei, and threw a lot of work for him to do, and said: "Since your father is sick in bed, then your son will take the place of his father!" "Directly ordered him to act as the left minister, and all the big and small reports of the court should be handed over to Xiao Cui Xiang for approval in advance, and if there is any important matter, it will be submitted to Emperor Yuanjia Emperor.

It's a pity that Emperor Yuan Jia didn't even go to the court in order to take care of Empress Zhou, and stayed in front of her bed for twelve hours a day. Every time Yizhi went to the palace to visit the queen and came back, she had to sigh for a long time.

Although those courtiers still didn't dare to talk to their heart's content, they didn't talk much about the royal family in private. When Princess Xianyou just died, they got together and said: "They are all the daughters of the saints, but they are just a girl, and they are not princes, so they take it so seriously." The full moon of such a beautiful and pompous is a 100-day feast, and the rewards are innumerable. It is simply unseen for the dragon of his love and pet, and even Emperor Jingzong has been looking forward to a son for ten years before he has seen such a favorite child as this saint! ”

"As a result, the grace was too long, which exceeded the blessing that the little princess should receive, and she only lived for six months before she died."

"That's it, this little child's family, how can she pile so many blessings on her at once, even if she is a prince, she can't bear it, not to mention that she is still a little girl who is already blessed!"

When it was December, they saw that Empress Zhou's illness had not recovered for a long time, and there seemed to be a sign of illness, so they began to talk about Empress Zhou's fate again. It's said that her life is not good, too hard! First killed her parents and brother, and now even the fate of such a noble True Dragon Son as the Emperor Xià can't suppress the evil qi brought by her life. Not only was her daughter killed by her, but even she herself was about to be killed by herself.

The New Year of the second year of Yuanjia was in a cold and depressing atmosphere, and it was not festive at all, and Queen Zhou's condition still did not improve. It is said that for the sake of the queen's illness, the emperor's majesty was so worried that both temples already had gray hair, and seeing that the famous gods and divine doctors invited from all over the country were all not up to the task, so far they have not been able to make the queen's illness a little better.

Xu is Emperor Yuanjia's sincerity moved the heavens, and the first immortal Dao of Yan Qin, who has disappeared for many years, the head of the Guhong Dao, suddenly appeared in Dali City and was welcomed into the palace by Emperor Yuanjia as a savior.

However, no one thought that Daoist Gu Hong pinched his fingers and gave a wonderful way to save the queen - choose a concubine Chongxi!

Gu Hong said that because the queen mother was trapped by the bad luck at this time, she could only escape this catastrophe by rushing with joy. But where does this joy come from?

Since the emperor and queen are one, Emperor Yuanjia has a happy event, and it is naturally the queen's mother who has a happy event. And to make the emperor's majesty haunted by happy events, the easiest thing is to accept a young and beautiful concubine and add a sister to the queen's mother, so as to be happy for her.

Previously, the ministers invited Emperor Yuan Jia to draft the draft, but they were scolded for being bloody, but this time, they had to ask for a little wife to save the life of the big wife, and Emperor Yuan Jia agreed without saying a word. An official who ordered the daughter to be married in the family sent all the daughter's birth date to the palace, and handed it over to the Guhong Taoist to choose the person who was most suitable for the queen's sister in his life.

As a result, more than 100 Bazi were sent to the palace, but only two of them were picked out by the Guhong Daoist.

One is the daughter of Zhang Zhao, the temple of Dali Temple, and the other is Cui Zuoxiang's beloved daughter, the sister of the Qinghe Empress Cui's sibling - Cui Chengjun.
