If you ask what it feels like to become an immortal once, I'm afraid that Empress Jiang has something to say.

When she first entered the palace, she also had a dream of spoiling her concubine, and when would she not treat anyone.

Today's son is a face-lover, but because of the pressure on the Zhao family, he wants to pass on the word Mingjun for centuries. Therefore, it is not good to blatantly show your preferences, so it can be said that it is rain and dew in the harem.

It was at this time that Empress Jiang fell into the eyes of the Son of Heaven. She is not glamorous, but she also has the shy color of a small jasper. Compared with Jin Guifei, who entered the palace at the same time, her appearance was slightly inferior, but because of her gentle temperament, she often attended palace banquets, and the seats were placed in the front.

No one knows that although Empress Jiang has an ordinary appearance, she has a delicate and good figure, and a snow-white skin like milk. The Son of Heaven summoned her to sleep once, and he remembered it.

At that time, Empress Zhao was unhappy because the Son of Heaven always favored a 'fox' like Concubine Jin, so the Son of Heaven often called Empress Jiang to accompany her.

Empress Zhao sent someone to check and knew that although Empress Jiang's mother family had some foundations, she was just a businessman, and she was not from a good background. However, the Jiang family has produced several capable people in recent years, but they are still a few points worse than the Zhao family and the Jin family.

Instead of letting someone like Jin Guifei step on top of her head, it is better to let Empress Jiang become bigger.

There are no children in the middle palace, and other concubines can have children. Therefore, every time Empress Jiang went to bed, what was waiting for her was a cup of bitter bird's nest porridge.

Empress Jiang knew it, and she had to pretend not to know, and she drank it gratefully every time. It wasn't until later that she bought the little eunuch who came to deliver bird's nest porridge, but she became pregnant after a few times.

She nursed carefully, and in the blink of an eye, the fetus in her womb was four months old.

Empress Jiang knew that this was the first child of the Son of Heaven, so she was naturally different, so she became more and more careful. All those who go to bed are excused by illness. Fortunately, at that time, the Son of Heaven favored a Concubine Mei from Jiangnan, and she couldn't call Queen Jiang once in a month, so she covered it up quite well.

But Empress Zhao has no children for a day, so she will not give up. The small days of the harem concubines are recorded in detail in a booklet.

Although Empress Jiang covered up the menstrual belt replaced by the palace maid next to her, she still missed the trap in the end. During a flower viewing, he was pushed and slippery.

The Son of Heaven wanted to curry favor with Empress Zhao, so he gently put the matter down and only rewarded her with a concubine.

In the following ten years, Empress Jiang has been cautious and lived as if she did not exist. Even Empress Zhao rarely thinks of her, and she is almost forgotten by the entire harem.

In the past ten years, the Jiang family has never given up on Empress Jiang. Otherwise, just by virtue of her identity, it would not be so easy to settle the confusion of the tenth princess over the years.

But she gave birth to a queen, which is the glory of the Jiang family.

Because the prince seized the heir, their biological mother also fell into the crime, and the harem has never been so quiet. Empress Jiang changed her previous life with her tail between her legs, and her actions became arrogant.

The Son of Heaven knew, but he only turned a blind eye.

At this age, is it possible that he will punish the queen for a trivial matter? The crown prince is now raised under the name of Empress Jiang, and it is not good to depose another queen.

Therefore, there are some things that are not out of line, and the Son of Heaven has also sent people to try his best to conceal them.

Since he had a serious illness last year, the Son of Heaven's health has been getting worse day by day.

The early pilgrimage is not held every day, and it is often not held for two or three days.

On this day, the morning dynasty.

I didn't sleep well last night, the Son of Heaven was not in good spirits, and he was a little drowsy in the court, thinking only about the fried chicken he was going to eat at lunch.

Naturally, the imperial dining room would not put the food bought by the people directly on the emperor's table, and this fried chicken was improved after they had eaten the chicken many times.

It's really because His Majesty is too old to eat such greasy things.

And because His Majesty only ate it once, he liked fried chicken so much that no other food could get into his eyes.

The Son of Heaven is old, and his taste is also biased towards heavy taste. This kind of fried chicken, which is heavy on oil and salt, has of course become his favorite. If you ask Qin Xiang, you can also arrange some diet suitable for the elderly. However, the Son of Heaven is very protective of Han Yunxiao, and he will not even be close to Qin Xiang, so naturally he will not ask for any recipes.

The great eunuch Wang Gonggong was beside him, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered like a statue, but in fact, his ears were raised high, and the voice of the court was fully heard.

Since His Majesty canonized the six princes as the crown prince, the early dynasty has been like an ornament, and it is very unsatisfactory.

I often don't go to court for a few days, and after going to court, I have to 'play the book when I have something to do, and I have nothing to do to retreat from the court'. It took a lot of effort to deal with Sidi's prisoners of war, but since then it has been stable and nothing serious.

And some small things are naturally handled by the ministers below, and the emperor can be described as very leisurely.

The prince knew that this was not because the emperor had killed a few important ministers and slaughtered a few surnames, which scared this group of old ministers enough, and no one dared to touch their heads.

In line with the idea that less is better than more, as long as things don't make a big fuss, they have to be suppressed.

But on this day, the atmosphere was faintly different.

In the silence, the prince sensed a certain restlessness hidden beneath the calm. His eyelids moved, and the dust between his arms trembled slightly.

This small anomaly went unnoticed, and soon someone came out of the queue and said in a loud voice: "The minister has a play." ”

The high-pitched voice dispelled a lot of sleepy insects in front of the Son of Heaven.

He opened his eyes in a daze and raised his hand: "Say." With that, he yawned.

This has made many ministers look at each other more and more differently. His Majesty is not old, but ordinary people are already grandfathers at this age, and great-grandfathers are possible. His Majesty's body is not a dragon spirit, not to mention that he has been poisoned before. It didn't cause any damage, but it still got in the way.

Now that the crown prince has been established, there is nothing to worry about. Even if one day the son of heaven is Bintian, they have some countermeasures.

There are not a few people who have this idea, but they just haven't expressed it.

Now there are few people who have an impact on the throne, most of them are wounded, disabled, and all of them are not to be feared. As long as they assist the prince with their hearts......

Unconsciously, someone has quietly drifted their mentality towards the prince who has not yet succeeded to the throne.

Next, the minister talked eloquently, putting on the desk how the Empress Jiang's family acted arrogantly, resulting in the common people being robbed of their family property and killed. He also said that the Shen family was convincing in front of the public, saying that he was a relative of the emperor and the queen's mother, so what if he took away this property?

He also said unashamedly that the whole world is not the king's land, and everything under the world is royal. They just asked for your shop, they asked for your recipes, and you should be grateful. Otherwise, go back and wait for the tenth princess to marry the general, and the prince to become the emperor, and punish your nine clans.

When the prince heard this, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and a fleeting smile flashed at the corner of his lips.

What are the most fears of those in power? He is old, and his heir is young. What are they most worried about? It was that they were no longer able to control the power, and his former most trusted subordinates had turned their attention to his successors.

Although the old emperor taught the prince wholeheartedly, he wanted him to become a wise monarch for a hundred generations. But so far, power has not been delegated, and the prince was not allowed to listen to politics in the early dynasty.

What this reveals is nothing more than an attachment to power, and he is reluctant to let go.

The old emperor thought that if he set up a crown prince, he would be at ease and could stay in this position for more than ten years. But just now, the minister's words were like a clear slap that woke him up from his sleep.

Before he died, there were people who coveted his rights.

The eyes of the Son of Heaven widened suddenly, like a tiger.

The ministers below were breathless, and they hurriedly woke up from the chaos.

"Bold!" He roared, "Who gave him the guts!" ”

The minister still talked eloquently, "After the minister learned about this, he sent someone to investigate and secretly visit, and he has already mastered the multiple incriminating evidence of the Shen family. In the past ten days, the Shen family has used the same method to force several well-known restaurants to hand over the formula, and even used means to make these restaurants close down one after another. If there are those who are not threatened, they go to the government to report the case, but instead of being resolved, they are beaten indiscriminately.

The arrogance of the Shen family as a relative of the emperor is a smear to the face of the entire royal family, and it is even more disrespectful to His Majesty. Therefore, the minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter, and must not allow such those who slander the innocence of the royal family to continue to do evil. ”

The prince pursed his lips, his eyes full of smiles.

To say that this person just named and said that the Shen family was working under the command of Empress Jiang, and then he took His Majesty out, which barely made His Majesty face.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! Check, give me a thorough check! ”

The news of the anger of the Son of Heaven Long Yan in the early dynasty soon reached the ears of Empress Jiang.

When Empress Jiang heard this, she was so angry that she dropped the vase.

The Shen family is her maternal grandfather's family, and Queen Jiang has been able to live comfortably in the palace over the years, and she can't do without the Shen family's silver from it. Unlike the Jiang family's scholarly family, the Shen family is a family of merchants. When Empress Jiang's mother married into the Jiang family, she was really high.

However, the good relationship between the two surnames is also due to the Jiang family's intention to intervene in business, and they just happened to board the big ship of the Shen family.

She had only been the queen for a few days, and the Shen family came out with such a big basket.

"Let's find out what's going on."

Xijing is still lively, and Yimingju did not cause any losses because of Shen You's accident.

The government came to the government that day, but they took them away directly, and by the way, they left money for Qin Xiang and them.

After sending people away, Qin Xiang went to drink tea and eat snacks.

"It's all done?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "It's all done." It's also our luck today, who would have thought that next to the Peony Pavilion would be Lord Lin's family. ”

Qin Xiang smiled and was silent.

Lord Lin's family is also a frequent visitor to Yimingju, and they usually use the Cuizhuxuan next door to the Peony Pavilion. One is to love the upright and tough bamboo, and the other is also because of the good scenery outside Cuizhu Xuan.

This Lord Lin is none other than the Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate, and trivial matters can make trouble for you. What's more, it's still such a big thing, how can he let it go.

Lord Lin's family members have a similar temperament to him and are a gossip porter. After I go back today, I will definitely add oil and vinegar to Shenyou's matter, and there will definitely be no omission.

Qin Xiang knew this, so he deliberately let the door of the Peony Pavilion show a little crack, just to let the next door hear it clearly.

There are many ways to deal with Shenyou, and she just happened to meet a 'nobleman', so she took advantage of it.
