Chapter 4 Confession

Every morning after getting up, Empress Dowager Dou would habitually ask the palace maid to warm her feet, even in summer.

The purpose of her doing this, she herself did not know, and whenever her cold feet rested on the maid's soft and smooth chest, she felt a sense of calm and comfort.

This feeling gave her empty and lonely heart a kind of comfort, and before she was thirty years old, she became the queen mother, and her future will be lonely, lonely forever.

After the morning today, Dou Xian kept glaring at her, and she didn't understand what her brother meant. Still, she asked him to see her in the early morning.

Dou Xian is very tall, with a full beard, which he rarely combs. It was a nuisance for him, so his face was always very dirty, reminiscent of some garbage in the grass.

He has a pair of very divine eyes, and some people say that he makes people feel frightened when he stares at someone, which shows that his gaze is like a torch. But his nose is very ugly, or rather, this kind of rosacea nose can only be characteristic of alcoholics.

So he loves to drink, and he is the kind of person who doesn't stop until he gets drunk and doesn't wake up, which also causes a big flaw in his character. He has an extremely violent and impatient personality, a small belly, and he will repay him.

When he was still Emperor Zhang, his personality caused him a lot of trouble, but fortunately he had a girl who could call the wind and rain and be in charge. Now that his sister is in charge of the world, he has begun to be more fearless and doubly arrogant.

His current position is a tiger general, but when he enters the palace, he often swaggers into civilian clothes that he wears at home, and he does not look like a minister at all.

Empress Dowager Dou frowned and looked at him kneeling on the couch with a grin, "Brother, look at your current appearance, do you still look like a person in charge of the palace decrees?" ”

"What's the matter, you're not happy with the way I look?" Dou Xian didn't care, drinking the wine that the maidservant had poured for him.

"Well, you are not allowed to be unkempt in front of me or in front of everyone. You will be my brother after all, and you will save some face for the mourners. Empress Dowager Dou's face sank, and she ordered the maid to take the wine glass away.

Dou Xian didn't care anymore, "Queen Mother, Deng Biao is humble and polite, I plan to recommend him as the Taifu, this person can be used by me, what do you think?" ”

"Deng Biao is indisputable, what's the use of you pushing him as a master? The country needs useful people, this kind of person, being a captain is already an exception, and you have to push him to be a master again, it's not a waste of a position in vain. Empress Dowager Dou glanced at the invitation that Dou Xian put on the table, but did not immediately approve it.

"It's because he doesn't fight that I want him to be this master. There are a lot of people who are dissatisfied with the queen mother in the court, and there are people who oppose each of my plays, if you invite him to be the princess, I will let him play, and when the ministers object, I don't know that this is my play, and naturally I will not be dissatisfied with our Dou family, such a good shield, just usable, isn't it a wonderful good move? When Dou Xian said this, he couldn't help but be proud and laughed.

When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, "Brother said so, and I agreed to your request." The elder brother is also thinking about our Dou family, and the mourning family is also happy. ”

"The Queen Mother can understand my hard work, and my brother is also very happy. In addition, there is another thing, Zhao'er has been on the throne for a long time, and the original teacher is not our person, so I am not very satisfied. The Queen Mother will see if there is another person? One sentence said to the heart of the Empress Dowager Dou, she has been thinking about this matter in her heart, and she has not found a suitable candidate for a long time. At this time, it was proposed by Dou Xian, and it was in the middle of it.

"Is there a suitable candidate for my brother? A few days ago, there were a few people mentioned in the waiter, and I thought about it again and again, but I didn't allow it, some of them were not knowledgeable enough, and some were too upright to be of use to us. When Empress Dowager Dou looked at Dou Xian's face, she already knew a thing or two in her heart, knowing that he was not confident and would not make this request.

"Does the Queen Mother know about Tunqi Captain Huanyu?"

"Huan Yu?" Empress Dowager Dou pondered for a moment and said happily, "This person has been the emperor's teacher for several generations, and his temperament is quiet and self-controlled, so he is really an excellent candidate." If he teaches the scriptures to Zhao'er in the palace confinement, no one will criticize him, and this person will not have the slightest influence on us. That's a great move! I decree and summon at once. ”

Dou Xian succeeded in playing both of them, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and continued, "Queen Mother, I entered the palace this time and brought someone here. ”

"Who?" Empress Dowager Dou was slightly surprised, she didn't know what medicine was sold in Dou Xian's gourd.

Dou Xian said, "Do you remember that when the first emperor died, there was a townsman waiting for Liu Chang to mourn? ”

"I didn't notice, why is there something wrong with this person?" Empress Dowager Dou said indifferently, and when she heard that it was the descendants of the Liu family, she couldn't help but lose her interest.

"This person is the grandson of Liu Xuan, the king of Qiwu, and he was born handsome**. After the mourning, he never left, and he was looking for a way to see the Queen Mother, and he begged for my head, but I couldn't push it off, so I agreed to him to come to see you. This person is waiting at the gate of the palace now, it is better for the Queen Mother to sell me this face, and it doesn't hurt to see it. He has prepared a heavy gift, and if you don't like it, just send him away. ”

Empress Dowager Dou sighed, "This kind of thing will be pushed away in the future, the mourning family deals with the government every day, and has to take care of the **, it is really overwhelming, you still find this kind of trouble for the mourning family." After speaking, he glanced at his brother resentfully, and sighed in his heart.

"Come, bring the man!" Empress Dowager Dou instructed the yellow door under the corridor.

Dou Xian smiled slightly, grabbed a handful of unkempt mustache under his forehead, and looked like he was waiting to watch a good show.

There was a rush of footsteps, very light and soft, and a man slowly bowed in. Even if he bowed his body, his figure was extremely tall, his long body was jade, and he was wearing a white robe, and the group of gold and purple ribbons hung around his waist, which made his body even more beautiful and extraordinary.

Empress Dowager Dou was slightly stunned, her face couldn't help but turn red, and a hot and humid air rushed up to the top of her head, as if she was about to burn. I didn't know how to speak for a while, I just stared at the purple ribbon around his waist, and felt that the depths of my throat were extremely dry.

"The ministers and brothers are waiting for Liu Chang to see the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother a beautiful and dusty moon." His voice has a magnetism, but it is soft and respectful, which makes people extremely comfortable to listen to.

Beautiful and dusty, as bright as the moon, Empress Dowager Dou silently repeated these words in her heart, she had never heard such a greeting, and she had a good impression of this Liu Chang.

Dou Xian looked very natural, "Liu Chang, you raise your head and let the Queen Mother take a good look at you." ”

Liu Chang raised his head to look at the Empress Dowager Dou, the Empress Dowager in his eyes was not only dignified and beautiful, but also had a noble atmosphere, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be affectionate, and her heart couldn't help beating like a drum.

Liu Chang's complexion is fair, his facial features are extremely delicate and handsome, his nose is high, his chin is resolute, and he has a pair of charming deep eyes. The two looked at each other, and they were both stupid.

When Dou Xian saw it, he knew that the matter had been completed, so he got up and quietly retreated, and waved away the palace people on the left and right. Glancing back at the figure of the man still standing in the hall, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and strode away.

Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Chang didn't notice the subtle changes in the hall, and it took a long time for Empress Dowager Dou to smile and say, "Duxiang is waiting for you, please take a seat!" ”

Liu Chang did not sit down, but took out a very delicate glass box from his arms and put it in front of the Queen Mother's case. With his hands behind his back, he retreated step by step, and read in his mouth, "The feet are silky, the head is tortoiseshell light, the waist is like a stream, the ears are bright and the moon is shining, the fingers are like cutting onion roots, the mouth is like containing Zhu Dan, and the slender steps are unparalleled." A pair of dark eyes have been staring at the face of the Queen Mother, affectionate.

Empress Dowager Dou's head was almost down to her chest, a poem she had memorized since she was a child, but no one had ever used it to describe herself, although she knew that her beauty was enough to be written in this poem. So although he knew that Liu Chang was teasing himself, he didn't mean to be responsible.

"When Du Xianghou said this, did he praise me for my beauty? What's in this box? She picked up the small box on the case with her slender jade fingers and looked at it carefully, but her eyes drifted to Liu Chang, and the red glow on her face was reflected all the way to her soft neck.

Liu Chang already knew that the Empress Dowager Dou loved him very much, so he had the courage to come to the case and open the glass box, the lock of the box was extremely small, but extremely delicate. Empress Dowager Dou was very interested, so she wanted to take a look, but she couldn't help but touch Liu Chang's hand and couldn't help screaming.

Liu Chang took the opportunity to hold the soft wattle in his hand, and the Empress Dowager Dou just wanted to break free, so Liu Chang said, "Empress Dowager, let's open this box together, okay?" ”

Empress Dowager Dou looked into his eyes, but saw that the smile in his eyes was deeper, not only lowered his eyelids, but also no longer broke free. He scolded softly, but his tone was extremely gentle, how could there be a trace of resentment, "You are so bold, you dare to be rude to the mourning family, aren't you afraid that the mourning family will cut off your head?" ”

Liu Chang said with a smile, "If the Queen Mother is willing, she will cut off my head, and my soul will guard the Queen Mother every day, never leaving the left and right." ”

Empress Dowager Dou's eyes were like silk, and she said softly, "It depends on whether you let me give up." ”

After the box was opened, there was only a cicada-shaped stone inside, and the Empress Dowager Dou was not only stunned, but asked, "Is this the stone?" Liu Changlang laughed, laughed for a while, and then suppressed his smile and said, "The things in this box are the treasures I got from the mountains, but."

In order to make women's hands and feet warm, but let men warm up first. Will I warm the jade for you in the future? ”

Empress Dowager Dou has lived in the palace for a long time, how can anyone do this to her, not only is her body hot, her legs are soft, and she is panting like silk. I have long forgotten that I am the queen mother of a country and is in charge of the world, and I just hope that this man will stay by his side forever and make himself happy.

In the quiet Jiade Palace, quietly, the Empress Dowager Dou leaned on the man's arms, with an endless infinite spring breeze on her face, and the scenery was beautiful, in the spring drizzle and wind, she looked so intoxicated.
