Extraneous years

Under the extra years

It was rainy throughout July, and Empress Dowager Shotoku went on a rainy morning.

In fact...... In the minds of many, she was already dead.

It doesn't matter what happened when she was alive. When she died, the emperor always gave her a decent amount - of course, this decency was also limited.

Cai Gu advised the Empress Dowager Shengci: "Niangniang, it is cold in Nanjing Palace, and it has just ...... You don't feel comfortable these days, so why bother to go there yourself? It's good to refer to one person to lay the foundation. ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci shook her head, she looked at the vast rain curtain outside the door, and only said, "It's been so many years...... I'm going to see her off. ”

The Empress Dowager Shotoku has not yet been buried, and she stops in the side hall of Nanjing Palace.

If she didn't know who the person lying here was, the Empress Dowager Shengci really wouldn't have recognized it.

In her impression, the appearance of the Empress Dowager Shengde has always been the same as when she lived in Fengyi Palace.

Rich, dignified, and beautiful.

And the man who was lying here now described as withered, with unkempt white hair, and only a coarse linen shirt on his body, his hands clenched together, and his long nails covered with mud.

If she didn't say it, who would know that she was the Empress Dowager Chen, who had dominated the harem for decades?

Empress Dowager Sheng Ci remembered the first time she met Empress Dowager Sheng De – when she was still Empress Chen.

Empress Chen combed a high fairy bun, Qiluo was splendid, and the pearls were brilliant, which made people dare not look at it directly.

The Empress Dowager Shengci remembered very clearly, and Empress Chen looked at her coldly, with a sense of assessment, as if she wanted to pierce her.

The gaze is not like looking at a person, as if it is looking at an object, judging whether it is worth paying for - with undisguised hatred.

At that time, she didn't know what was waiting for her.

Later, she served by the side of the Empress Dowager Shotoku for many years, and she was cautious to save her life.

Slowly, many things that I didn't know before, I slowly learned later.

The emperor is bound to marry the daughter of the Chen family, but it is said that it was the eldest daughter of the Chen family who wanted to enter the palace at that time, but for some reason, it was the eldest daughter who was finally crowned.

The eldest lady of the Chen family entered the palace after leaving the cabinet to ask for peace. If you say that she is smart and has a good demeanor, this eldest lady is far better than Queen Chen.

She saw that the two sisters did not get along harmoniously, and couldn't help but have a thought-if it was this eldest lady who became the queen, then her life might be better, right? At least, this eldest lady seems to have a good temper and good cultivation. If you serve her, I am afraid that you will not be as guilty as serving the current Empress Chen.

The emperor didn't pamper her for many days, and once the emperor was half drunk and told her about it.

"She has her perks...... At least, what she was thinking could be seen from her face. If it is a successful one, the Chen family will be even more tricky in the future......"

She didn't hear it, and she didn't dare to tell anyone else.

I used to think that the emperor and the queen were husband and wife, but later I slowly understood that the emperor was the emperor, and behind the queen was a string of relatives......

If the queen is a man with a city and a skill, it is naturally not a good thing for the emperor.

She didn't dare to think about those things, and she couldn't think about them.

Besides, she doesn't understand either.

She didn't know how to deal with these people, let alone be like them.

She will only live her life cautiously, thinking nothing in her heart, and showing nothing on her face.

She doesn't remember much about the days before entering the palace, as if she had laughed heartily at that time, ran and chased in the fields with her cousins and cousins, took a pole to beat unripe dates, and caught fish in an earthen dam by the river......

Those distant things are like the things of a previous life.

After entering the palace, it seems that he has not laughed, and there are endless errands to be done in the Yeting Palace, for fear of making mistakes. Out of the Yeting Palace, it is only more dangerous than before. She saw with her own eyes that Empress Chen would stick the palace people to death for no reason, and after giving birth to a child, she was punished for kneeling before the mattress period expired......

But she's still alive.

Live longer than anyone else.

The first emperor, the biological son of the Empress Dowager Shengde, the son of Emperor Yuan, Cui Guifei, Zhu Jieyu...... There are many more......

Now even the Empress Dowager Shotoku has gone.

They were all gone, leaving her alone.

Cai Gu stood here, only to feel a cool air rushing up from the soles of her feet, uncomfortable, she stepped forward and whispered, "Niangniang......"

The Empress Dowager Shengci shook her hand, and Cai Gu could only shut up and retreat aside.

Cai Gu has been serving the Empress Dowager Shengci for more than ten or twenty years, and has seen how the Empress Dowager Shengde is prominent and majestic, and how the Empress Dowager Shengci forbears her grievances.

If Caigu is the Empress Dowager of Shengci, this person will die when he dies, what else will he come to see? Is it possible to still mourn her? It's kind enough not to fall into the well.

Cai Gu guessed the mind of the Empress Dowager Shengci, and whispered: "Actually, it's not that the palace people of Nanjing Palace dare to be mean and harsh...... The slave maid heard that wearing other clothes would be torn to pieces by her, and she couldn't let her be naked and unorthodox, so she wore this, at least this tear wouldn't break. She didn't dare to wear jewelry, she stuffed everything into her mouth. There were not a few palace people in Nanjing Palace who were injured and scratched by her, and later they could only let her stay in the small courtyard and be guarded by eunuchs......"

"Actually, she had several chances to kill me back then, but by mistake, she didn't do it when she could, and she regretted it when she turned it over, and she didn't have a chance. First I was afraid of the first emperor, and then I was afraid of the emperor and King An......" The Empress Dowager Shengci sighed: "Actually, the first emperor is right, she has a bad temper and a straight temperament, and she is not the material for the queen. Although the scenery has been beautiful for so many years, in the end ......"

Cai Gu didn't dare to take it, but said: "Niangniang, it's cold and dirty here, let's go back first." ”

Fortunately, this time the Empress Dowager Shengci listened to the persuasion, and Aunt Cai breathed a long sigh of relief.

The weather was gloomy, and when I left the Nanjing Palace, it began to rain. Cai Gu helped the Empress Dowager Shengci to get on the chariot, and held up an umbrella to follow behind.

The rain was getting heavier, and I saw people rushing from the end of the palace road in the distance.

The Empress Dowager Shengci said suspiciously: "Stop." ”

Cai Gu stepped forward quickly: "Niangniang, it looks like a ...... by the emperor's side"

Needless to say, the Empress Dowager has already seen it.

When the man approached, he knelt in the rain and said in a trembling voice, "The Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Third Prince...... Dead. ”

Why do I get stuck at the end every time.

It's really not good these days.
