Chapter 42: Jinling Affair (5)
The palace here is the palace group where the Holy Emperor has lived for generations, and the high walls are solemn, but the harem is located, after generations of repairs and improvements, but it also seems to be affectionate, warm and without losing the royal dignity.
The great holy royal family, generations of love, the founding of the Taizu and the Empress Taizu is a model of generations of praise, when Taizu conquered the world, the queen accompanied him.
To the most critical war, when Empress Taizu gave birth, the pain was unbearable, Taizu left the war in full swing, kept in the tent for a day and a night, the queen gave birth to Emperor Taizong, settled the queen, Taizong was full of energy, captured and conquered the state, not to mention, but also took the state and the state of Rongzhou and Qingzhou, most of the Central Plains, has been in hand.
Emperor Taizong was even more famous, but he was a hard-headed historian who did not spare the details of his affairs with his concubine Yi. said that he favored Yi Guifei, and even asked Taizong to comb Yi Guifei's hair, wash her feet, and sleep and lie down together.
With the grace of Yi Guifei, if it weren't for Yi's childlessness, how could he come to the throne of Shizong, and Sejong's biological mother, the Queen Mother of Shuxiao, was not able to share the same mausoleum with Taizong, just because Taizong decreed that only Yi Guifei was allowed to be buried alone in his own imperial mausoleum. And three months after Yi Guifei died of illness, Taizong, who had always been in good health, also died in depression.
And Sejong, who lived with the queen Chai and Shun to old age, the queen was virtuous, and gave birth to two sons, Emperor Xian and King Yu. Sejong was not in good health and died before the year of the Mandate of Heaven.
The first emperor ascended the throne as a young man and was given power by the ministers. Lie down and taste the guts, and get rid of the powerful ministers. Make great efforts, create a prosperous world.
He also met the enemy of the Liang Kingdom, and even fought the King of Liang, who had always been ruthless, and died in battle, almost destroying the country.
And the first emperor and Queen Chai were also a good story at the beginning.
It's just that Queen Chai was not in good health after giving birth to a child, and she was depressed because of the early death of her son-in-law.
In the end, the emperor and queen were abnormal, and Queen Chai was also tired and crazy, and finally died of illness.
A generation of beauties is also embarrassing.
But looking at the first emperor's care for the Chai family, he asked His Majesty to marry the daughter of the Chai family as the queen.
Kun Palace is where the queens of the past generations lived, and now another Queen Chai is living.
And this Empress Chai is the third Empress Chai after the founding of the Great Sage, the empress of Sejong, the mother of the first emperor is the Empress Dowager Chai, and the queen of the first emperor is Empress Chai. This Chai family, although the men are also capable, but they are indeed inferior to these women.
"Concubine, Xu, the wife of King Yu's grandson, please give peace to the queen and the crown princess." The crescent moon knelt down and bowed to the two people sitting on the main throne in a dignified manner.
"I knew you were back early in the morning, and the righteous thoughts were talking about you, so you came, get up." The Chai family is so beautiful, and so is Queen Chai, although she is middle-aged, she is still brilliant, sitting next to her, and the princess Wang, who has a bad face because of a miscarriage, is not outstanding at all.
"Queen Xie" said, and Xinyue also stood up with the support of Feng'er.
"Say hello to Mrs. " Xinyue noticed from the moment she entered the door, next to Queen Chai, there was also a noble girl sitting, the two had never met, but seeing her and Queen Chai's face and extraordinary dress, she must be the new county lord of the Chai family, Chai Bijun.
It's just that the crown princess was established early, and the Chai family has established a family motto since ancient times, and women in the clan are not allowed to be concubines. The Wang family on the side of the new moon was also calm, so this Cheshire lord just came to the palace to ask the queen for peace.
"Hurry up, don't be polite." The Lord of Cheshire stood up straight, her body was slender, her face was as white and shiny as a pearl, her big eyes were bright and shiny, she was a clever and powerful woman, and her bearing was really worthy of being the daughter of the Chai family.
"Don't stand, sit down, serve tea." The queen waved her hand, and the new moon did as she said, and sat down next to the crown princess Wang.
"When I saw you coming, the wound on your forehead was not serious, but when I saw it today, the scar on your forehead was so deep." The queen looked at it fixedly, and saw the scar on the forehead of the new moon at a glance, after the scar healed, the newly grown skin still had a different color, which was incompatible with other skin tones on the face, and what was close could be seen at a glance.
Xinyue smiled, "The concubine has already asked the doctor to adjust the ointment, apply it every day, and it will get better." ”
"You have to take care of it, such a beautiful hibiscus face, if it has a small flaw, it will not be good." As she spoke, the queen waved her hand, and Crescent Moon was too familiar with her movements, she stood up from her position, walked up to her, and knelt down.
"You, but the wife of the family, you can't be so shabby on this head." As she spoke, the queen swayed from her own bun, and the five beads of the shadow moon wrapped around the branches were inserted into the hair of the new moon.
Xinyue felt a sinking in her forehead, and she lowered her head, "Thank you for the reward." ”
"It's so pretty." Looking at the crescent moon standing up, Queen Chai squinted her eyes, and the smile on her face became kind, "Sit down, taste this year's frosted tea, I don't know if you can drink it in Dongdu." ”
The new moon hung her head, the fringed beads were about to hang down to her eyes, she sat back in her place, with a cup of steaming tea in her hand, she had to follow the instructions, picked up the cup, and took a sip of the tea in the teacup, "In the Eastern Capital, I really don't drink it very often." ”
"This year, the snow in Jinling is small, I thought that this frosted tea is not a climate, but because of the lack of snow, the tea leaves are not on..."
The crown princess Wang was talking, and Xinyue was also listening with a teacup, but Queen Chai opened her mouth, interrupted Wang's conversation, and said to Xinyue, "Xinyue, King Yu is still healthy, everything is okay in the house?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, my grandfather's health has always been good, but it is cold in the eastern capital, and he is old again, so he can't help but feel a little uncomfortable."
It is no secret that Empress Chai is also the crown princess and the princess of the royal family. As the daughter of the Chai family, for the sake of the family, herself and her son, she also wants the next crown princess, and then for the people of the Chai family, but the eight characters of the Cheshire lord in front of her are not in harmony with the prince, and then the prince does not like this Cheshire lord with a cold and hard personality, so Xinyue glanced at the Cheshire lord who looks very similar to Queen Chai, as long as the prince's brother is not crazy, he will not marry such a princess.
And the crown princess Wang is different, born in Shanyang Wang, a scholarly family for generations, has been in the Yan family for two or three hundred years, in addition to the Yanwen Gong Kong family in the court, and the Kong family has no women of the right age, so the daughter of the Wang family is the most suitable to be the crown princess.
Xinyue stretched out her hand, straightened her hair, and put down the cup in her hand, "This year's frosted tea is really as the crown princess said, it has a different flavor." ”
Wang knew that Xinyue would relieve her again, but he still put down the cup in his hand with a calm face, "Yes, it's not bad." ”
The new moon gestured to Feng'er, and Feng'er presented the brocade box she had been carrying with both hands.
"Listen to the concubine, I heard that the crown princess Niangniang is not feeling well during this time, this is the hundred-year-old ginseng that the little prince brought back from Jinzhou, please make ginseng slices, or boil soup, and drink it to take care of your body."
"Thank you for remembering," said the crown princess, and asked the maid next to her, Ning'er, to take it over.
