Chapter 5 The grand return to the palace
On June 13, the emperor Fenglong was the Empress Dowager Yide in early summer, and solemnly welcomed back to the palace to live in the palace of the prince of Yuning, and the fire demon was named the prince of praying for fire, and did not give another mansion, but lived with the prince of Yuning
On June 14, the concubines in the palace went to Xuantian Pavilion to ask for peace
The queen was not in good health, but she came early, she was fortunate to see Long Chuxia back then, at that time she had not entered the palace, was elected as the queen, Long Chuxia met her at that time she was just a teenage girl, in the blink of an eye, she was also in her early thirties
She thought that Long Chuxia was also old, but when she saw her, she found that she was not much different from eighteen years ago, there was no trace of aging, but her eyebrows were much more mature
"The concubine sees the queen mother!" Because Long Chuxia was named the queen mother, she naturally wanted to call Long Chuxia the queen mother
"Xiaozhi, help your master to get up!" Long Chuxia sat on the phoenix seat and smiled
Xiaozhi is the palace maid next to the queen, and has followed the queen for many years, and has not yet left the palace to marry Hearing Long Chuxia's instructions, Xiaozhi hurriedly stood up and helped the queen up, and thanked him together: "Thank you Empress Dowager"
Long Chuxia looked at the empress's pale face and asked softly, "I heard the emperor say that you are not in good health, how do you feel now?" ”
A faint smile appeared on the queen's thin face, and she said: "After returning to my mother, the concubine just had some problems with imbalance in qi and blood, and after some conditioning by Imperial Doctor Guo, it is much better now, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about the concubine."
"Hmm!" Long Chuxia nodded, heard her talk about Imperial Doctor Guo, and asked, "Imperial Doctor Guo is healthy now?" "He's in his early sixties
The queen said softly: "He is now the judge of the Tai Hospital, and his body is quite tough, but it is not as good as before."
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are things that people must experience in their lifetime, and they don't have to be too obsessed," Long Chuxia sighed slightly
The queen smiled, "The queen mother is still the same as before, and she has not grown old."
Long Chuxia just smiled and asked about the situation in the palace, and the queen also told the people in the harem one by one that Long Chuxia had already investigated, including Ling Guifei and Concubine Li
Now the palace is divided into three factions, the queen, Ling Guifei and Concubine Li, of course, although the queen is cowardly, but she is in the middle palace, or there are some people who know the current affairs The queen is good, and the Shen nobleman who is now pregnant is also a person on the queen's side Because of this, her situation is even more dangerous
Ling Guifei's status in the harem somewhat depends on her father and brother, her appearance is not beautiful, but his father and brother are guarding the border, the emperor naturally wants to give her more favor, give some rewards openly and secretly, and stabilize her father's and brother's heart Ling Guifei is arrogant, does not understand human feelings, and relies on the emperor's favor to collide with the queen everywhere, she sees that the queen is a soft persimmon The queen and the emperor are a young couple, she is a true love emperor, so all the things in the harem, no matter whether she can handle it or not, she will not tell the emperor to annoy the emperor, and because of this, Ling Guifei calculated her weakness and bullying
As for Concubine Li, as her name suggests, she is beautiful, but she is not from a high background, her father is the prefect of Jeju, and she can be promoted to the concubine position, which is already the emperor's favor, she is different from Ling Guifei, she is very scheming, but it is only in the early years, since she was promoted to the concubine position, the momentum of the nouveau riche has been revealed, she doesn't take the queen seriously, but she will not embarrass the queen directly, but just give some ugly words to the queen openly and secretly, and has tried to provoke the relationship between the queen and Ling Guifei many times, so that the two go to war, It's a pity that the queen's temperament is weak, and she swallows all kinds of things
Concubine De entered the palace three years ago, is the niece of Concubine Duangui, eighteen years old this year, drafted into the palace, as soon as she entered the palace, she was named Zhaoyi, gentle personality, generous and decent, knowledgeable, although her appearance is not as good as Concubine Li, but her temperament is several times better than Concubine Li
Concubine Qin entered the palace at the same time as Concubine Qin, Concubine Qin is nineteen this year, is the sister of General Dingyuan, and soon after entering the palace, she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, but the fetus was aborted in less than three months, and she was very negative since she was in the palace, and her mood did not get better until a year ago
Concubine Ning, who was executed before, confirmed that she had murdered Di Rui and was given Bai Aya to commit suicide
There are also some concubines with low ranks, so I won't count them one by one here
Long Chuxia chatted with the queen for a while, and finally saw some concubines coming in one after another
They don't attach much importance to the queen mother who suddenly appeared, because everyone knows that the emperor's own mother has died, and since she was posthumously named the queen mother of Xian'an, she suddenly appeared, and the emperor named her the queen mother, probably the queen of the first emperor, the queen who ran away with people, she has been nurturing the emperor for a few years, but she left with someone, why did she come back? Everyone thinks that it is an old pearl yellow, or a glory and wealth, so they relied on the emperor to raise the emperor in the past year and came back to ask for a reward
The emperor is a person who values love and righteousness, and for his adoptive mother who raised him in the past, he is naturally hard-hearted and the emperor governs the country, taking filial piety, benevolence and righteousness as the first, if she does not accept the former queen, it means that he has not fulfilled his filial piety, and he is not enough to set an example for the people of the world
It's just that the things on the face are passable, who will really take this Empress Dowager Yide in their eyes? Probably even the emperor himself may not come to say goodbye
It's just that as soon as the queen mother returned to the palace, she immediately ordered the six palaces to let the concubines come to ask for peace
Long Chuxia looked around at the group of radiant concubines kneeling in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart, how could there be no disputes with so many women guarding a man?
Ling Guifei and Concubine Li hadn't arrived yet, Long Chuxia ordered everyone to sit down first, and after a while, he saw the eunuch at the door preaching: "Concubine Ling Guifei has arrived, Concubine Li has arrived!" ”
Long Chuxia sneered in his heart, the status of these two people is really like the sky, the eunuch and the red top white are normal, just listen to the courtesy in the eunuch's mouth, you can know how transcendent the status of these two people is
Concubine Ling Guifei walked in front, she was wearing a peach-colored brocade gold wide-sleeved palace skirt, with a fallen horse bun, and a golden step swaying obliquely, her face was full of arrogance
She walked in front of Long Chuxia and only blessed her body slightly: "The concubine sees the queen mother!" ”
Long Chuxia snorted and said lightly: "Sit!" ”
Ling Guifei glanced at the queen, a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and then sat on the pear blossom wood chair beside the queen
Concubine Li was wearing a lighter pink than Ling Guifei, holding a golden silk hairpin on her sideburns, her actions were windy, and the jade on the hairpin jingled softly, she was like Ling Guifei, slightly blessed: "The concubine sees the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and happiness!" She also saw the queen, and without waiting for Long Chuxia to speak, she also saluted the queen: "The concubine sees the queen's mother!" ”
Although Concubine Li and Concubine Ling Guifei don't take the queen in their eyes, the difference between the two is that Concubine Ling will disclose her thoughts on her face, while Concubine Li hides it deep in her heart
