Sister and brother love finally became a couple

The old queen mother left and returned to the west

The Empress Dowager ordered Sun Shikai to be escorted in Cifu Palace: Send someone to find Yang Azhi for me, severely punish him, and then send me out of the palace.

Sun Shikai stood still, and persuaded her with a smile:

Empress Dowager, you dissipate your anger. Listen to the minions tell you. You see, the official family, your great-grandson, the current official family, is filial enough to you, it can be said that he is a good emperor, and he is also your good great-grandson, Miss Azhi, she didn't say anything to you, she served you wholeheartedly, and you have always been very satisfied; Besides, the official family is not to see one and love one, there are only four concubines in his harem, which is not the least among the emperors of all dynasties, the concubines are not the least, what about Miss Azhi, she is in her early thirties this year, she should have married someone a long time ago, she is smart and well-behaved, knowledgeable, and there is no one in her mother's family, marrying the emperor as a concubine, knowing the roots, isn't it very good?

Speaking of this, he looked up at the Empress Dowager, only to see her soothing face, thoughtful, and nodded: What you said has some truth.

Sun Shikai still said to her in a slow voice, and in the past few years that the official family has been married, the concubine has given birth to several princes and princesses, but not many have survived, if you agree to marry Ah Zhi to the official family, Ah Zhi will give birth to a few princes to the Zhao family, you have a few more great-great-grandchildren, there are more princes and princesses, and the royal family is prosperous, this credit is yours.

The Empress Dowager smiled, Shi Kai, you can really say that my old lady has figured it out.

This, and ah, if you just don't agree, beat Ah Zhi and drive him out, your kindness to her will be written off, the emperor knows about it, and he also has opinions about you, he has a heart, and he forcibly marries Ah Zhi, what can you do? Besides, the Queen Mother, you have given the world to your great-grandson, are you still reluctant to have a palace maid?

You're right, I'll listen to you. Today, my old lady has fulfilled this pair of mandarin ducks.

It's not that you listen to me, it's that your old man is knowledgeable, sensible, and can do great things. In this way, the official family and Ah Zhi will always remember your goodness, and people all over the world will praise you.

The Empress Dowager suddenly thought of something, "Slow, this matter can't be done in such a hurry, let Empress Dowager Xie and Empress Dowager Li know, and then listen to the empress's opinion." ”

The Empress Dowager is really thoughtful and does things without leakage.

The old lady is old and doesn't want people to talk about it. So, you go to Empress Dowager Xie's palace first, tell her about it, and see what she thinks.

Since the death of Xiaozong, the Empress Dowager Xie Sufang lived in a simple house, did not ask about political affairs, and ate fasting and recited Buddha all day long. When Sun Shikai went, he was copying the "Huayan Sutra", and when he heard about the emperor and Ah Zhi, he smiled:

Ah Zhi is in the palace of the Empress Dowager, and his character and appearance naturally have nothing to say, since the official family likes it, and the Empress Dowager is in charge, the lonely little Ah Zhi finally has a home, a great thing, and it is too late for the mourning family to be happy.

He instructed Sun Shikai:

Tell the Queen Mother that everything is in charge of her old family, and when the time comes, she will mourn and give a gift.

When the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang learned of this, she made a calculation in her heart: This little Ah Zhi is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Wu, what does it mean to let her marry my son, and she wants to fight for her mother's family. The world is so big, the emperor wants to choose a concubine, what kind of little girl can't find it, why choose an old girl in her thirties, and she is not as beautiful as a fairy.

No, his mother has to be in charge of this matter.

said to Sun Shikai: This matter can't be rushed, wait for me to inquire about it.

That's where things get stuck.

Others are not in a hurry, but the parties are in a hurry. It's just that the emperor hasn't shown up in the past few days, which makes her heart feel like fifteen buckets of water.

In the evening, the emperor finally came, and the queen mother walked away under the pretext of excuse. Ah Zhi hurriedly informed Empress Dowager Li of her disagreement, and the emperor listened, smiled slightly, and hugged Ah Zhi into his arms.

What about the officials? Azhi was anxious.

It's okay, the queen mother loves me the most, I'll tell you, she'll agree.

What if she resolutely disagrees? I heard that this queen mother is particularly fierce.

Fierce to others, not to me, besides, even if she disagrees, it is useless.

The next day, the emperor went to meet the emperor. The Emperor Taishang was still missing, Zhao Kuo could only look from outside the door, and saw that he was a little emaciated, so he asked Yang Shunqing to inquire and ordered Haosheng to take care of the Emperor.

Bring the Queen Mother fine silk and delicious lychees. Mother and son are happy to see each other. Seeing that Li Fengniang was in a good mood.

Zhao Kuo asked about his marriage to Ah Zhi.

Li Fengniang said: Does the official family really like her? I heard that she is thirty-four or five, and she is not outstanding. Choose a young one for your mother, fifteen or sixteen years old, beautiful and obedient, okay?

It's not good, my son likes Ah Zhi, don't you stop it, okay?

Li Fengniang stared at the emperor for a while, and then said decisively:

Well, the queen mother agreed. After getting married, bring it to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager asked Empress Han to invite her to listen to her opinion. Queen Han smiled:

Grandma Tai's fancy must not be wrong, Ah Zhi entered the palace, and the great-granddaughter-in-law approved with both hands.

It was a matter of course, and the Empress Dowager chose an auspicious day of the zodiac to preside over the wedding banquet for the emperor Zhao Kuo and Yang Azhi.

At the banquet, the Empress Dowager said:

"The official family was watched by my old lady to grow up, kind, practical, filial, a good emperor, Ah Zhi, came to the palace in his teens, smart, versatile, is a rare good girl. Since you are willing to do so, today I am the master, and you are married here. ”

Zhao Kuo and Ah Zhi both kowtowed to thank him, and the Empress Dowager helped her great-grandson, "Official, Ah Zhi is a bitter child, for my sake, you have to treat her well!" ”

Zhao Kuo hurriedly replied:

"Obey Grandma's decree and treat her well."

The Empress Dowager looked at Ah Zhi, who was blushing and full of happiness, and sincerely instructed:

"Ah Zhi, the official family has been weak since childhood, can't drink, doesn't eat raw and cold food, and is busy with political affairs, you have to take good care of it."

Ah Zhi couldn't help nodding: "The slave must remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager admonished with a tense face: "It's not the Empress Dowager, it's the grandmother, not a slave, weighing her grandson and daughter-in-law!" ”

Ah Zhi replied with a red face: "Grandma, my great-granddaughter-in-law knows." ”

Under the witness of the Empress Dowager and others, the two drank a glass of wine, and a pair of sisters and brothers in the palace finally became married. This year, Zhao Kuo was 27 years old and Yang Azhi was 33 years old.

Until now. Although Yang Jieyu did not untie her clothes and served with all her heart, the Empress Dowager's condition did not ease in the slightest.

In the cold winter of the ninth month, there was a heavy snow in Lin'an City, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver. Bad news came from Cifu Palace: in the early morning, the Empress Dowager passed away.

Before the old lady died, she left a testament and told the emperor: Emperor Zhao Dian is in poor health and has not yet recovered, and after I die, I only need to serve five months of mourning.

When Emperor Zhao Kuo learned about it, he wept bitterly and thanked his grandmother for her thoughtfulness. The next day, the edict was issued: the national mourning day was set for five days, the emperor served the mourning for one year, and the palace personnel and civil and military officials all wore mourning clothes within a month. The Duke of Yuguo, Han Yanxuan, personally served as the funeral envoy, presided over the funeral, and was honored with the title of Xianci Holy Martyr. She was buried with Gaozong in the Yongsi Mausoleum of Huiji.

During this period, Yang Jieyu suffered another misfortune: Zhao Yuan, the Duke of Qi, died of a high fever. Under the double blow, she was disgraced and skinny.

To say that Emperor Zhao Kuo is really a lover, he was distressed to see Concubine Yang like this, and heard that she had a good godsister, so he asked Guan Li to try to find her, let her serve Concubine Yang, and relieve her boredom.
