Chapter 13: Empress Xu is widowed

As we all know, Empress Xu and Emperor Cheng of Han were politically married. This dooms them to not have much affection. This time, Emperor Cheng went to Princess Yang's Mansion. Emperor Cheng saw a girl wearing heavy makeup, very enchanting, charming and moving. The graceful dancing posture is light and fluttering, like a fairy descending to the earth. Gradually, Emperor Cheng was stunned. A sly smile leaked from the corner of Princess Yang's mouth. After the dance, the girl greeted Emperor Cheng and said, "The people's daughter Zhao Yi pays a visit to Your Majesty." "Okay. I didn't expect Miss Zhao to grow so big? "Emperor Cheng was surprised." Your Majesty, you are also much more handsome than before. Zhao Yizhu said.

Emperor Cheng looked at Zhao Yizhu obsessively and said, "Zhao Yizhu, I want to make you a concubine." ”

"Really?" Zhao Yizhu looked at Emperor Cheng and whispered, "Your Majesty, the little girl comes from a humble background, I'm afraid it will damage Your Majesty's reputation." ”

"Lord Zhao Yi, it doesn't have to be like this. I think that back then, Emperor Xiaowu also set up the singer of Princess Pingyang's family as the queen, and this is why there is the famous Empress Wei. "As mentioned earlier, Empress Xu's father, Xu Jia, turned out to be also a great Sima.

"Your Majesty, Empress Wei can sacrifice her life to protect Emperor Xuan's lineage, do you think I can compare with Empress Wei?" Zhao Yizhu blushed unconsciously.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Cheng found the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun.

"Queen Mother, I want to crown Zhao Yi as Zhaoyi." Emperor Cheng said confidently.

The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned pale, and she said, "Your Majesty, are you fascinated by Zhao Feiyan's singer?" ”

"No, Queen Mother. If the queen mother has any opinions, I can continue to add officials to your royal family. Emperor Cheng was a little impatient.

"No, Your Majesty pampers the beauty, it's your freedom. Anyway, the queen doesn't have a son yet. You also need to spread the branches. However, there is also a beauty in the mourning family to dedicate to you. Wang Zhengjun said expressionlessly.

"The queen mother wants to offer me a beauty? It's so fresh. What kind of woman can enter the eyes of the queen mother? Emperor Cheng wondered.

"Ban Zhao, come in?" The Queen Mother laughed.

A young girl came, dignified and elegant, and said with a smile: "The people's daughter greets Your Majesty." "Where are you?" Emperor Cheng asked.

"Your Majesty, the people's daughter Ban Zhao, is the descendant of Yin Ziwen, the commander of the Chu State. Zuo Cao Yue's daughter of the lieutenant class. Ban Zhao said with a smile.

"The queen mother still cares about me very much." Emperor Cheng said with a smile.

"It's good that you know, don't delay state affairs because of beauty." The Queen Mother was worried.

"So be it. Queen mother. Erchen took a step back and named Zhao Yi as Jieyu, and Ban Zhao also named Jieyu. That's fair. "Emperor Cheng and the mud road.

Empress Xu heard that Emperor Cheng had accepted two more concubines, Zhao Yizhu and Ban Zhao, and asked her sister Xu Xiao: "Has Your Majesty lost interest in this palace?" ”

"Sister, don't think like that. The queen is supposed to have a certain measure, and she is the emperor. Three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines are not uncommon. You have to be accustomed to it, so that Your Majesty will pamper you. Xu Xiao said with a smile.

"But if Your Majesty is fascinated by other concubines, how can he think of this palace again?" Empress Xu said sadly.

"Sister Queen, you can also offer a beauty to Your Majesty. For example, isn't your niece Xu Hanmi the same age as you? You can dedicate it to Your Majesty. Xu Xiao said with a smile.

"Isn't this a mess?" Empress Xu said with a sad face.

"Queen Mother, aren't you also Your Majesty's aunt, isn't Emperor Xiaohui's Empress Zhang Yan also his niece? Isn't the Xiongnu Ning Hu clan also the current Da Dan Yu's concubine? Seniority has never been an issue. Xu Xiao analyzed.

Empress Xu then wrote a letter to ask her niece Xu Hanmi to enter the palace to play.

On this day, Empress Xu was looking at the lotus flowers in the pond with Emperor Cheng.

Xu Hanmi shouted from afar, "Auntie." ”

"Han Mi." Empress Xu smiled.

When Emperor Cheng saw Xu Hanmi's graceful figure and handsome and innocent face, his eyes almost straightened, and he said, "Empress, this is your niece." Emperor Cheng choked up for a moment.

Xu Hanmi walked into the pavilion and said to Emperor Cheng: "Are you His Majesty the Emperor?" Why is it different from what I thought? ”

"What's wrong? What's the difference? Han Mi. Emperor Cheng asked jokingly.

"Your Majesty, don't you have dragon horns?" Xu Hanmi was surprised.

"Oh. It's all folk rumors. Han Mi. Emperor Cheng laughed.

Soon after, Xu Hanmi was made a beauty by Emperor Cheng.

As soon as Wang Mang and Wang Feng heard about this incident, they immediately felt like a fish in their throats.

"Uncle, Xu Jia's daughter, and niece have all been made queens and beauties. He is the same as you. In the future, the court of this great Han dynasty will not be our Wang family's final say. I worried.

"Yes, let's find a way to weaken the power of the Xu family." Wang Feng's face became gloomy.

Empress Xu gave birth to a princess for Emperor Cheng. The white snake spirit in my body attacked again, and said to the black bear spirit on the side, "Queen Xu's daughter can't stay." You will devour her soul. ”

"Daxian, this is not good. Queen Xu gave birth to a princess, and the princess can't threaten the status of the Wang family. The black bear spirit cried.

"You're so kind-hearted. The princess is also the power of the Xu family, if Queen Xu chooses a capable concubine. It is also a threat to the Wang family. The python said.

The black bear spirit casts a spell to devour the princess's soul.

The next day, Empress Xu found that the princess had died. She wept bitterly and said, "God, why are you so ruthless." ”

However, Emperor Cheng did not come to visit Empress Xu.

Because Emperor Cheng was discussing with his ministers in the middle of the court what was going on with the lunar eclipse for three consecutive years.

"Wang Da Sima. A three-year lunar eclipse is terrible. Do you think there was some vision? Emperor Cheng said in fear.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is a sign of yin and yang decline. Your Majesty has had a continuous lunar eclipse since the establishment of Empress Xu. This should be that the middle palace is too imposing. Now His Majesty has accepted Xu Meiren again. As a result, there was a crisis in Dahan. Wang Feng Zhenzhen said.

"Wang Feng, you spew people with blood. Obviously, there are too many relatives of your Wang family. As a result, both inside and outside the government and the opposition are people from your royal family. The yin qi is too heavy, and it is clear that your Wang family is too strong. Da Sima Xu Jia sneered.

"Lord Xu, Lord Wang, you are all Great Sima. should not be affected by this reason, Xia Guan thinks that it should be His Majesty's favor Zhao Feiyan, the singer, who caused trouble. Chun Yuchang said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lunar eclipse is just a natural phenomenon, don't talk about it." Emperor Cheng is colorful.

After the next dynasty, Wang Feng questioned Chun Yuchang: "Nephew, you are from our Wang family." Your mother was also married to your father. Why did you help Xu Jia speak instead, it wasn't because you had an affair with Xu Xiao's widow, right? ”

"Uncle, that's not the case, my nephew thinks that His Majesty still has feelings for Queen Xu, and if he slanders them too much, I'm afraid it will backfire." Chun Yuchang said calmly.

However, after Emperor Cheng returned to the palace, he still went to Zhao Feiyan's bedroom.

Emperor Cheng hugged the naked Zhao Feiyan and said, "Concubine, how I want to make you the queen." Xu Jia, an old horseman, relied on himself to be a big Sima and was very arrogant. Wang Feng too. ”

"But the concubines can't serve Your Majesty anymore." Zhao Feiyan suddenly couldn't cry.

"What's wrong? Why did the concubine say this? Emperor Cheng asked.

"The concubine is there." Zhao Feiyan said shyly.

"I have another baby?" Emperor Cheng was immediately overjoyed.

The news of Zhao Feiyan's pregnancy soon spread in the palace, and Chun Yuchang and I felt like knives in our hearts. Wang Mang said to Wang Feng: "Uncle, once Zhao Feiyan gives birth to the prince, our Wang family will have no status. ”

"So we have to find a way to make Zhao Feiyan unable to give birth to this prince." Wang Feng's eyes became sharp. Chun Yuchang suggested: "You can buy off the eunuchs in the palace to make Zhao Jieyu miscarry." ”

So, what means will Wang Feng have to achieve his goal? Will the Xu family sit idly by? What kind of waves will the harem of the Han Dynasty set off?
