Chapter 016: Empress Dowager Cisheng

When the Zheng family gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Qi Xun, she was immediately canonized as the imperial concubine, and everyone thought that the emperor's next step was to abolish her as the queen, so as to make room for the Zheng family, and then justifiably set up the son of the Zheng family as the crown prince and inherit the Great Qi country.

Including herself, she thinks so.

So during that time, she was confused and confused, and when she went to bed every night, she was worried that she would not be able to see the sun tomorrow, so that she couldn't sleep all night long.

After a long time, she was naturally seen by the Empress Dowager Li.

One day, she went to Cining Palace as usual to greet Empress Dowager Li, and without saying a word, Empress Dowager Li withdrew from the palace, took her hand, and said solemnly: "You don't have to worry, as long as the mourning family lives for one day, you will be the noble queen of my Daqi harem!" Even if His Majesty opposes it, it won't work! ”

She was full of panic and grievances at that time, as if she had found an outlet all of a sudden, and fell on the lap of the Empress Dowager Li and burst into tears, crying the Empress Dowager Li's skirt.

When she finally held back her tears, Empress Dowager Li pointed to the skirt of the crying flower and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been learning tailoring recently, and even the embroidery lady of the Shangyi Supervisor is willing to bow down, this skirt, you have to pay to the mourning family!" ”

She couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Compensation!" Erchen must pay! ”

After returning to the palace, she worked day and night to tailor new clothes for the Empress Dowager Li, and it took about a month to make a complete set of new clothes for the Empress Dowager Li.

I remember that when she gave her new clothes to the Empress Dowager Li, the Empress Dowager Li smiled and said: "You are so filial, if the queen mother doesn't help you, she will be embarrassed to wear your clothes!" ”

What followed was the fifteen-year-long "national capital dispute".

In the end, under the pressure of Empress Dowager Li and the ministers, the emperor was forced to canonize the emperor's eldest son Qi Luo as the crown prince, and the fifteen-year "national capital dispute" finally came to an end.

……

The past flashed through my mind like a marquee.

Of course, Huang Yi'an knew that Empress Dowager Li teamed up with her ministers to force the emperor to appoint the emperor's eldest son Qi Luo as the crown prince, not only to help her, a stumbling block that hindered the Zheng family's sealing, but also for the stability of the Great Qi Dynasty - to establish a successor, this is a rule left by the ancestors, even if you are the emperor, you can't do it willfully.

But even so, in the long and lonely years in the palace in her previous life, the warmth and protection given to her by Empress Dowager Li were all her lifelong reliance and precious memories.

Therefore, taking advantage of Liu Ji's invitation, she will definitely do her part to add color to Empress Dowager Li's birthday and repay her kindness in her previous life.

"Miss Huang? Miss Huang? Liu Xiu saw that he couldn't get Huang Yi'an's memories for a long time, so he leaned over and asked.

Huang Yi'an withdrew from his memories, was stunned, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about the paper kite just now......"

Liu Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay." I'm asking, when Miss Huang is free, let's make an appointment in Taoranju to talk in detail. ”

Huang Yi'an smiled: "I can do it at any time, it depends on when Sister Zhang is free." ”

Liu Xiu got the right words, so he didn't stay longer, and after a few words of greeting, he got up and said goodbye.

……

Two days later, Zhang Xi came to pick up Huang Yi'an by car, and the two went to Taoranju together.

When they arrived at Taoranju, as soon as the two got off the carriage, Liu Xiu greeted them with a smile.

After the ceremony, Liu Xiu led the two to the private room on the second floor.

Liu Ji had been waiting inside for a long time.

Also waiting inside, there is also Zhang Chi, who had a one-sided relationship with Wuzhangfeng when he signed a contract with Wuzhangfeng last time.

Zhang Xi saw Huang Yi'an looking at Zhang Chi with a stunned expression, so he explained in a low voice: "There is a difference between men and women, and it is more convenient to have a third brother here." ”

Huang Yi'an nodded clearly.

The two sides saluted each other.

Liu Ji arched his hand and thanked him: "I am tired of the two young ladies for working hard, and thank you Ziping for accompanying me." ”

Zhang Chi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

Zhang Xi and Huang Yi'an also held their heads reserved.

The four of them took their seats.

Liu Xiu led Amei and the others out of the private room, and waited elsewhere for tea.

In the private room, after greetings, Liu Ji took out a piece of paper from his arms and went straight to the topic: "These are several paper kite styles selected at the last poetry meeting, and I am going to choose one of them as a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and I also ask the two young ladies to help with the details." ”

On the way to Huang Yi'an, he informed Zhang Xi of the matter, and the two of them listened to it, without asking too much, and directly took the paper with the style of paper kite to take a closer look.

Phoenix, longevity, blessing...... It's not a sign of respect, it's a blessing.

Zhang Xi thought for a moment and said, "These are all appropriate, no matter which one you choose, you can't go wrong...... It's just that it's too ordinary, I'm afraid it's hard to shine. ”

When Liu Ji heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.

This birthday gift is a great opportunity for Wuzhangfeng, if you can't overwhelm your peers and win a full house, then what's the use?

"I don't know, what does Miss Zhang think?" Liu Ji asked for advice.

Zhang Xi frowned and said, "For a while, I can't think of a better and more chic one." ”

Birthday celebrations, counting and counting these tricks, and it is to congratulate the Empress Dowager Li on her birthday, how can you make random ideas.

Liu Ji was disappointed when he heard this.

Huang Yi'an thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea, I don't know if it's suitable or not?" ”

"What thoughts?" Zhang Xi and Liu Ji asked in unison, looking forward to it.

Huang Yi'an considered the wording and said: "As the biological mother of His Majesty, the Empress Dowager Cisheng is certainly very noble, but she is also a mother. As a mother, what I look forward to most is not my wealth and glory and longevity, but the child's prosperity and brilliant achievements.

"So I think it's better to take the theme of 'Haiyan River Qing', paint the shape of the landscape and the prosperity of the people, and then add the full style of Fushou, not only for the birthday of the Empress Dowager, but also for the great Qi rivers and mountains. What do you guys think? ”

In fact, the Empress Dowager Li, who was born in the palace, was able to become an equal existence with the first emperor Empress Chen, the current Empress Dowager Rensheng, and after the emperor ascended the throne, she moved into the Qianqing Palace to take care of her daily life and assist in political affairs.

It's just that these words, with her current status, can't be explained to Liu Ji.

After listening to Huang Yi'an's words, Liu Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly became enlightened, but he did not rush to express his opinion, but looked at Zhang Xi to inquire.

Zhang Xi thought for a moment and praised with a smile: "I think this plan is feasible!" Every time I enter the palace to greet the Empress Dowager Cisheng, her old man often recites words such as wishing His Majesty to work hard and the great Qi country to be forever, and I want to come to the "Haiyan River Qing" as the theme of blessing and birthday, her old man will definitely like it! ”

Seeing that Zhang Xi also agreed, Liu Ji immediately made a decision: "Then this matter is so decided!" ”

After that, he got up and bowed deeply to Huang Yi'an and Zhang Xi, and said, "Thank you for your advice today, Liu Ji is grateful!" ”
