A full moon, like a silver plate, hangs in the dark blue night sky.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on her face, and she saw this woman, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were moving, and there seemed to be stars flashing in her eyes.

The complexion is like fat jade, smooth as greasy, there is a faint sorrow lingering between the eyebrows, and the beautiful white and greasy neck is like a beautiful swan.

Under the delicate collarbone, the slightly bulging chest evokes infinite reverie.

Empress Liu carefully looked the woman in front of her up and down, and seemed to feel very familiar, and suddenly a woman jumped out from the depths of her memory.

That woman was her nightmare for many years, and the emperor's heart was occupied by that woman, who turned a blind eye to herself.

It's really just too similar.

If there is anything that is not like it, it is a little more charming than Xia Ruolan back then.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

She carefully looked her up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Are you Xia Ruolan's daughter?" ”

Siyu was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that the queen would actually recognize her mother.

All of a sudden, her mind was in turmoil, thinking about it, and it was not a way to dodge, so she made up her mind.

"Returning to the queen, the son is exact!"

After getting her affirmative answer, it was somewhat surprising to Queen Liu, only to see that she was not flustered and her face was as usual.

She couldn't help laughing and sighed: "It's really worthy of Xia Ruolan's daughter, you are not afraid that this palace will report you on the spot, your mother can be regarded as a rebellion!" ”

When she said the last few words, she deliberately lowered her voice, and there was a faint hint of threat.

She wanted to see the panic on her face, and she wanted to wait for her to plead with her in the next moment.

But no.

Seeing Siyu unhurriedly, he leaned down and bowed: "Back to Empress Liu, it's just a woman in the smoke and willow lane, the former royal family of the Xia Kingdom has become a cloud of smoke to me, and now I am just the most humble existence in this deep palace, if you want to kill me, please feel free!" ”

"Don't you dare?"

When Empress Liu said this, she turned her head and called Xue Juan, who came over, and after the maid arrived, she just waited for her instructions.

And in the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Siyu still unmoved, even if the eyebrows in the corners of her eyes jumped slightly.

However, it still disappointed her.

This aroused her interest, and she waved her hand at the snowy juan, who quickly stepped aside.

When she turned her head again, there was a little appreciation on her face, and she couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, the prince didn't misunderstand you, you are much better than your mother!" ”

When Siyu heard this, she didn't know how to reply, but smiled, "Back to Empress Liu, it's late to be in a hurry, you might as well go back to the palace!" ”

"No, there are many people in the hall, so it's very suitable here, let me ask you, is your mother still alive?"

This is her biggest concern, and it is also her lifelong heart disease.

Siyu smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Empress Liu looked at her with burning eyes.

"I still can't see my mother after laughing at her, in fact, my mother is no longer alive, but even if she lives, she will never be able to threaten you!"

"Oh, how? Let's listen to it! ”

Empress Liu is obviously becoming more and more interested in Siyu, and she feels that Xia Ruolan's daughter is many times taller than her mother.

I saw Siyu replied unhurriedly: "Actually, my mother shouldn't have come, pinning all her hopes on an incapable man, it's a complete tragedy!" ”

When Empress Liu heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really better than blue, you are not afraid that this palace will tell you this sentence to the current emperor, even if he is a sick tiger now, he can tear you to pieces!" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

Siyu's face still didn't have a trace of fear.

"Why?"

Empress Liu's eyes were full of hostility when she looked at her.

I only heard her calmly reply: "Because a torn person is of no use to the queen!" ”

Quiet!

Occasionally, the night breeze blows, cool and slightly damp, blowing in the face.

Empress Liu took a closer look at the woman in front of her, and couldn't help but admire, obviously this is a leader in the prince's harem, destined to ascend the throne of the queen.

"Yes, the future is terrifying, this palace admires people like you the most, for many years, there are few opponents in this harem, a woman like you who is beautiful and scheming, you are not the queen, who can be it?"

Her words were sharp, if Siyu was silent, or admitted with a big thorn, she would relay it to the emperor in an instant.

Because a woman who doesn't know how to advance or retreat is destined not to be her ally.

But when he saw Siyu, he didn't want to reply immediately: "Her Royal Highness the Queen is laughing, I'm just a bitch, except for a little look, I have few talents, almost nothing, in this deep palace, it's difficult to barely survive, how dare I think about it?" ”

"You call yourself a bitch?"

"Yes, Erchen is originally, he is just the kind of bitch who can't be cheaper, kneeling in this lakeside hall, he will dirty this land!"

Empress Liu smiled.

"Calm down, it's cold on the ground, as long as you listen to me, you will naturally see the sun every day!"

Siyu hurriedly bowed again, and then stood up with Miaoyu's support.

"Throne!"

Empress Liu gave a faint order, and the Xue Juan hurriedly moved over a Taishi chair.

Siyu was not polite, Shi Shiran sat down, turned his head and thanked Queen Liu: "Thank you, Your Highness the Queen!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you, this palace asks you, there will be a big drama staged in a while, it may be aimed at you, if you don't perform well, I'm afraid that it will kill you in an instant, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Empress Liu stared at her face, but she was still disappointed, and the look on her face was still the same, without the slightest flustery.

"Really?"

Siyu looked at the sparkling waves in the distance, under the moonlight, the water surface was glowing, and responded lightly: "Let her have a thousand plans, I have a wall and ladder, but the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it!" ”

When Empress Liu saw her react like this, she couldn't bear her all of a sudden, and thought, with such a big picture, you can actually turn the sky upside down.

At this moment, the Yellow Gate official shouted, and His Royal Highness the Emperor and the Crown Prince arrived!

The concubines hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to greet them.

Siyu and the queen also hurriedly stepped forward to kneel to greet them, and saw that the emperor was being held by the crown prince, with a pale face and an extremely weak look.

The prince on the side looked extremely deferential.

The emperor rode in a soft sedan chair, the whole person was soft, and he looked weak when he was half lying in the soft sedan chair.

Doctor Hua on the side followed closely, and a strong smell of medicine mixed with sweat in the distance came with the wind.

At this time, the emperor was already terminally ill, and when he entered this hall, everyone found that his face was extremely bad.

There are a pair of black eyes embedded in Lahuang's face, and the eyes are not as sharp as they used to be.

The whole person is like a ball of soft cotton, shrunk in the soft sedan chair, and it looks weak.

"The concubines welcome the emperor, I wish me a long life, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The melodious and slender voice sounded in unison, and Queen Liu and Concubine Chang led many concubines to kneel on the ground and shout long live.

"Let's all be flat, this is a family banquet, you don't need to be polite, everyone can do whatever you want!"

The emperor's words were obviously a little lacking, which also made the queen mother feel a sour nose, and stepped forward to reassure: "Shou'er, everything can be put down, you have to promise me, you must not leave me alone......"

When she said this, she was already grieved and could not help herself, and she clutched the emperor's hand, feeling that his hand was weaker and colder than her own.

Tears rolled in her eyes, and the emperor wanted to struggle to get up, but he was really powerless.

He had no choice but to apologize and say: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry, since your son has been in power for more than 20 years, there has not been a day of exhaustion, not worrying, and now it is a blessing to be able to unload this thousand catties of burden!" ”

After he said this, he glanced at the prince, and said with great satisfaction: "I am very much in favor of opening the sea ban, and I have to thank you for the book you wrote, which really explains the advantages and disadvantages of the open sea ban clearly, and it is clear at a glance, otherwise I would not let those important ministers and families all readily agree!" ”

The prince had no choice but to nod yes, and hurriedly said humbly: "The son is just worried that the treasury is too empty, so he has no choice but to make such a decision, violating the ancestral system, and I hope that my father will forgive me!" ”

"No, from this point alone, you are stronger than me, I should have let it go a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have let my body end up like this!"

After saying this, the Queen Mother and Queen Liu both had tears in their eyes.

When the group came to the palace, the emperor was forcibly helped up by the crown prince, and the whole person couldn't even stand.

was forcibly erected by the prince, walked to the offering table step by step, knelt down, and there were tablets of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the founding of Taizu, on the surface, it seems that it has been peaceful for a long time, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, just like the current emperor, everything is just barely maintained.

There is the emperor taking the lead, and the prince and the queen mother are next to it, followed by Empress Liu, Concubine Chang, and then the princess Gu, Concubine Guo, and Concubine Su of the East Palace.

Finally, Siyu, Xiaolu, and everyone lined up in turn according to their status and grade, and began the ancestor worship ceremony.

Although it is not a formal ancestor worship, it is just incense, and the emperor recited two sentences, but it was really determined, and the date of Zen Rang affirmed the status of the crown prince.

But that's not the most important thing.

But the emperor faintly brought out a layer of meaning, as Concubine Chang, and the sixteen concubines who had also given birth to below her, all felt creepy.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are on top, and the sons have not been reluctant since they succeeded to the throne, and they have not been restrained every day, trembling every day, walking on thin ice, although they have tried their best to emulate the ancestors, retreat to the north, level the south of Yunnan, and Liting Beiyan, but the treasury has been exhausted, and it has been struggling to support, it is indeed the son's negligence, but the implementation of the sea administration is imminent, and it can make my Ming Guowei spread overseas, accept the world's money and grain, open source and save money, but this is afraid that the sons and daughters will not see it, just wait for the sons and daughters to bring the concubines, and the concubines, and the ancestors to share the palace, Witness my Ming Dynasty and the people together! ”
