The next day, Xie Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, published a book of recitals and asked for a decree for his stepmother Xu.

The Son of Heaven approved the performance on the same day and rewarded a generous gift to the Xie Mansion. Xu Shi put on the dress of the second grade, and his old face smiled like a stretched chrysanthemum, and the corners of his mouth almost grinned behind his ears.

The female relatives who went to Xie's house to congratulate were like clouds. Lu Mansion, Zhao Mansion, Xiao Mansion, Lin Mansion and other people all came to the door to congratulate. There are very few people from the royal family who come, and there are very few people who go, and the Yu family and the Gu family have not expressed anything. It was Gu Qing who privately ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift to Xie's family.

It can also be seen that soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, he quickly won over many civil servants.

Empress Dowager Yu's influence on the court is not small, but it has not yet reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. It was the royal family who stood on the side of the Empress Dowager Yu.

What is the situation of the contest between Empress Dowager Yu and Empress Xie in the palace?

I don't know how many pairs of eyes, closely watching every move in the palace.

Empress Dowager Yu was quite calm, and she was not in a hurry to take action, and took care of the palace affairs as usual every day.

Empress Xie was not in a hurry at all, and served the Empress Dowager Li in Cining Palace every day, without the slightest intention of interfering or interfering in palace affairs.

Queen Xie's behavior made everyone confused, and they talked endlessly in private.

"The queen mother really plans to live in the Fulin Palace all the time!"

At the palace banquet that day, the queen mother said that the queen mother had been living in the Jiaofang Palace. There were no less than 100 people present at that time, and they all heard it clearly. How can this be fake? ”

However, the Queen Mother is over fifty years old. The queen mother is so young, she can afford to spend and wait. ”

"The Queen Mother is in charge of the palace affairs with one hand, and the Queen Mother has no chance to touch her hands at all. In the long run, the queen's life in the palace will not be easy! In the past, Queen Xiao was still able to take care of some trivial matters. Queen Xie's mother, but she stays in Cining Palace every day to serve her illness......"

"I really can't understand the situation in the palace. Is it the queen mother's superb means, or is the queen mother good at forbearance and scheming? ”

"Of course, it was the Queen Mother who had the upper hand. Not to mention anything else, only one queen mother's identity is enough to make the queen mother rampant. ”

"Not necessarily. In my opinion, the queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I've been living in the palace for a while! I've never heard of the queen mother suffering a loss. It was the Queen Mother, who was very angry at the palace banquet that day......"

These private criticisms did not reach the ears of Empress Dowager Yu.

However, there was soon exciting good news in the palace.

The Empress Dowager Li, who collapsed on the bed and couldn't speak or move for several years, was able to speak!

……

"What did you say?"

In the Jiaofang Palace, there was a forbearant angry voice from the Empress Dowager Yu and asked: "The Empress Dowager can really open her mouth to speak?" ”

The envoy of the Zhao Academy, who knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Yu, was full of defeat, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise his head, trembling and fearful: "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Yu's eyes flashed with terrifying anger, her expression was cloudy, her chest rose and fell violently, and she coldly squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "What the hell is going on?" ”

When Emperor Jianwen died, Empress Dowager Li was shocked to hear the bad news and fainted suddenly. After that, the body could not move or speak.

Empress Dowager Yu did not poison Empress Dowager Li, firstly, because of Emperor Jianwen's last words. The second is to leave the Empress Dowager Li in the world, so that the Empress Dowager Li can taste the pain of not being able to survive but not death, so that she can get out of her evil spirits.

At the suggestion of Empress Dowager Yu, the prescriptions prescribed by the envoy of the Zhao Yuan were all "Taiping", the kind that could not cure the disease and could not kill people.

In the past four years, Empress Dowager Yu rarely set foot in Cining Palace. The envoy of the Zhao Yuan has to come to the Jiaofang Palace every half a month to report.

Empress Dowager Yu sent Xie Mingxi to Cining Palace to serve the illness, but naturally she did not have good intentions. Xie Mingxi's movements in Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Yu didn't pay attention to it.

Change the prescription?

It's ridiculous! Could it be that Xie Mingxi really knows how to prescribe a prescription to treat the disease and save people!

Unexpectedly, this slap came so violently and suddenly!

Empress Dowager Li's illness has really been alleviated! I was able to open my mouth to speak! Although only two or three words were spit out intermittently...... But for the Empress Dowager Yu, there is no doubt that it is a bolt from the blue!

"When you came to report before, why didn't you mention that the Empress Dowager's illness had improved?" If the gaze could be turned into substance, the Empress Dowager Yu's fierce gaze would have already slashed the Zhao Yuan envoy with a thousand knives: "Why is the Empress Dowager suddenly able to open her mouth to speak?" ”

The envoy of Zhao Yuan was also bitter.

Since Empress Xie went to Cining Palace, the imperial doctors were only allowed to check their pulses once a day, and the rest of the time, the imperial doctors were sent to wait outside the dormitory.

Empress Xie changed the prescription, and the envoys of the Zhao Yuan and the imperial doctors naturally knew about it. It's just that everyone got together and discussed it, but they didn't think that the changed prescription could cure the Empress Dowager Li. Because of this, the imperial doctors did not take this matter to heart.

Of course, they didn't know that Empress Xie had privately fed Empress Dowager Li another medicine, and ordered someone to rub Empress Dowager Li's whole body and help people out of bed and walk around every day......

Now, Empress Dowager Li's illness has suddenly improved, and she can even open her mouth to speak!

The faces of all the imperial doctors were all swollen, and the faces of the envoys of the Zhao Yuan were also swollen and painful!

"Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen doesn't know what's going on." The envoy of the Zhao Yuan replied stubbornly: "Maybe the queen mother is proficient in medical science, and the changed prescription has been effective." Or maybe it was the queen's sincerity that moved the queen mother......"

Touched by a fart!

Empress Dowager Yu couldn't bear it anymore, so she picked up the paperweight at hand and threw it over.

The paperweight was made of fine jade and was quite hard.

Zhao Yuan's envoy didn't even have the courage to dodge, and was hit in the shoulder by the jade paperweight, and suddenly there was a hot and sharp pain! The paperweight rolled to the ground with a crunch, and it broke in two.

Zhao Yuan's envoy was so painful that he inhaled cold air, and kowtowed again and again to forgive: "The Queen Mother is angry!" The Queen Mother is angry! ”

Empress Dowager Yu's face was so gloomy that she was about to drip water, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice: "Where did Zhao Yuan's words come from!" The Empress Dowager's illness has improved, and the mourning family only has the truth of happiness in their hearts, how can they be angry! ”

Zhao Yuan's back broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all: "Yes, yes, Weichen was so happy that he was dizzy and said the wrong thing." Please don't be surprised! ”

Empress Dowager Yu snorted coldly, and before she could say anything, Yu Qiao lowered her head and came in to report: "Empress Dowager Qi, the Empress Dowager has come to see her." ”

Xie Mingxi is here?

To see or not to see?

See you of course!

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a weak heart for the queen mother?

Empress Dowager Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said lightly: "Come on, clean up the ground." Then please come in. Envoy Zhao, you also stay. ”

After a while, Xie Mingxi entered the Jiaofang Hall with a smile.
