In the past few years, the Cao family has become more and more secluded, and it is impossible to see each other at leisure

Speaking of it, Cao is a hard-working person. [Full text reading. Although Queen Cao was famous back then, she was the granddaughter of the winged king Cao Bin. The entire Cao family is a prominent family with generations of hairpins and eunuchs.

In the autumn and winter of 1034, Song Renzong canonized Cao as empress. Although Empress Cao's maiden background is powerful, I am afraid that she is not outstanding in appearance, at least not in Song Renzong's harem where the beauty is like clouds. She was made empress, but she did not occupy any place in Song Renzong's heart.

However, Empress Cao is very modest and cautious contrary to the temperament of her predecessor Empress Guo, or she is forced to behave like this. In addition, the Cao family, her mother's family, also knows how to measure proportions, and it turned out that the high-ranking officials of the Cao family took the initiative to avoid suspicion and resign after the Cao family became the queen, which allowed her to avoid a lot of political whirlpools.

One of the most praised things in history of Empress Cao is that she was calm and resourceful in the palace change and saved the emperor's life: at that time, Song Renzong was in the palace of Empress Cao, and in the middle of the night, Wang Sheng, Yan Xiu and others rebelled, killed the guards and seized weapons and entered the inner palace. The situation is very dangerous.

Empress Cao was not surprised, and while holding the emperor and not letting him out, she ordered the eunuchs to guard the palace gate and notify the ministers to bring troops into the palace to escort them.

Empress Cao estimated that someone would set the fire, and ordered to prepare water first, so as to prevent it from happening.

In addition, Empress Cao was also very anxious, and every time she sent someone out, she would cut a strand of hair for that person, as a basis for rewarding him for merit in the future. So the palace maids and eunuchs are desperate.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers arrived, and the rebellion was put down.

But Song Renzong is not authentic, he is not grateful for his wife's help, he does not appreciate the queen's bravery, but he is suspicious of Queen Cao.

When talking to the minister about the incident that night, Song Renzong did not mention the merits of Empress Cao; On the contrary, he made something out of nothing and transplanted the credit of Empress Cao to his favorite Zhang Meiren as the emperor, and her thinking was indeed weird, which was basically not a good thing

Song Renzong even took revenge, planning to frame Empress Cao for colluding with traitors to abolish Empress Cao and set up another beauty.

Fortunately, the imperial historian He is very fair, and he resolutely opposes the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, and he dares to stand up to the emperor.

Empress Cao's bad luck is not only like this, she not only married a husband who was suspicious of dark ghosts, but also greedy for a white-eyed wolf adopted son.

Song Renzong's own sons all died, and he could only adopt the child from the clan, which was later Song Yingzong Zhao Shu. Because this guy married Empress Cao's niece, the queen took great care of him.

But I didn't expect that once he ascended the throne, Song Yingzong would be rude to the point of letting Empress Cao abolish the emperor's thoughts, which shows how excessive she is, you must know that Empress Cao is very tolerant, and the queen is forbearance all the way. The matter was later stopped by the Chancellor.

Cao, who has become the empress dowager, refused to hand over power to Zhao Shu because he was worried that his evening would be bleak; On the other hand, the more she did not give up her power and did not return the national seal, the more hostile Zhao Shu became to the Empress Dowager Cao, and it became a vicious circle. Later, under the leadership of the scheming minister Han Qi, he plotted against the Empress Dowager Cao three times, and finally forced the Empress Dowager Cao to hand over the jade seal, withdraw the curtain and return to politics, and agreed to let Zhao Shuzun's biological parents be the imperial examination.

And after the poor Empress Dowager Cao delegated power, Zhao Shuming was filial to her on the surface, but secretly retaliated, and even embarrassed the Empress Dowager in every way.

In 1067, Zhao Shu died. 20-year-old Song Shenzong Zhao Zuo ascended the throne. Empress Dowager Cao was promoted to become the Empress Dowager. This grandson, on the contrary to his adopted son, was very filial to the Empress Dowager Cao, so the Empress Dowager Cao in her later years finally lived a stable and comfortable life for a few years.

was thinking about all the things that appeared in the history books, and before I knew it, I had walked in front of the Queen Mother. Although Chen Qiaoqiao lowered her head, she still felt countless scrutiny. The originally bustling venue became silent.

"Son-in-law to the queen mother, please say goodbye" Wu Rongwang's warm voice came, secretly pulling Chen Qiaoqiao's palm, so that Chen Qiaoqiao's heart calmed down slightly, and tried to use a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, "The concubine has seen the queen mother"

Empress Dowager Gao paused for a while, "Raise your head"

Chen Qiaoqiao raised her head slowly, slightly nervous in her heart, although this Chen's skin is good, but when she arrives in a place like the palace, I am afraid it is not enough to see

In addition to the group of palace maids Cai'e and the inner prison attendants, the first to sit is several masters of the harem, the first one to sit on the phoenix crown yellow robe, the graceful should be the Empress Dowager Gao, the corners of the eyes and lips have wrinkles, only vaguely retain a little bit of the beauty of youth. On the right hand side is a woman in palace clothes with a high bun and beautiful face, who is also over thirty years old, but she is better maintained, and her skin is still quite shiny, so she should be Xiang Queen. The demeanor sitting on the left hand side is more dignified, and the beautiful eyebrows are very gentle, presumably it is Concubine Zhu. The last one is a young woman, her dress is simple, her makeup is light, although her face is not beautiful, but she is full of vitality, her spirit is essence, and her eyes are soft and affectionate when she looks at the emperor

The most eye-catching is Song Shenzong, who is Huanhuan next to the Queen Mother, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to King Wu Rong, but the natural majesty is very different from King Wu Rong, but because of the difficult government, his eyes are very melancholy.

Chen Qiaoqiao only glanced at it slightly, and looked at the people in the audience.

The moment the people present saw Chen Qiaoqiao, their hearts were all chuckled, but they suddenly realized, looking at King Wu Rong's eyes, they were all pity and distressed.

This is especially true of Empress Dowager Gao, who let out a long sigh, "Idiot idiot"

King Wu Rong's heart trembled slightly, raised his eyes, and tried to calm his face, "It's time for the queen mother to calm down, if you scare the beauty, I will be distressed."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at her beloved son with pity, "The Queen Mother knows, as long as you like it, why can't you get up?"

Chen Qiaoqiao was very strange about the conversation between their mother and son, but her face did not show anything, and she stood up with a sweet smile. looked at the Empress Dowager Gao head-on, only to see the Empress Dowager Gao looking at herself, her eyes were very complicated, there was pity, and there was inexplicable sadness, which made Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Song Shenzong felt even more guilty in his heart, looking at Chen Qiaoqiao, who was six points similar in color to Pang Di, he knew that after so many years, his younger brother had never let go of that amazing woman for a moment

Empress Dowager Gao affectionately pulled Chen Qiaoqiao, "Which family are you from, how come the mourning family has never seen it?"

Chen Qiaoqiao didn't know how to answer, did she want to directly say that she was the widow of the loyal general, Wu Rongwang walked over with a smile, "The queen mother, this is the daughter of the son, don't you care which family she belongs to, as long as I can continue the string, you don't have any requirements?"

Empress Dowager Gao was amused, "Protecting it so quickly can be known that giving birth to a son is like giving birth to a white-eyed wolf, and if you have a daughter-in-law, you don't care about the old lady" Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and Song Shenzong immediately confessed, "Queen Mother, you can't overturn a boatload of people with one shot, but I put my mother in my heart."

Xiang Queen also made fun, "The prince is afraid that the queen mother will be embarrassed by the beauty, but I know that the prince doesn't know the mind of being a mother, and the queen mother knows that the prince has a lovely person who will accompany her all her life, I don't know how happy she is."

Xiang Queen's words said to the Empress Dowager Gao's heart, and she glanced at her approvingly, "Or the queen understands the thoughts of the mourning family, the mourning family only wants to know her maiden name."

Chen Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, "Concubine Chen Qiaoqiao"

"That pretty lady" Empress Dowager Gao is very curious, this name is strange. Because she is also a name, she naturally has a curiosity. King Wu Rong hurriedly replied: "Naturally, it's pretty" Empress Dowager Gao laughed, "A good name is naturally good."

Because the expectations for Chen Qiaoqiao are not high, as long as it is a woman who can be loved by King Wu Rong, besides, Empress Dowager Gao knows very well what position this Chen Qiaoqiao has in King Wu Rong's heart, and she can't help but feel a little pity for her, so she is not dissatisfied with her.

Wu Zangyu beggar stood on the stage, looking at all this hatefully, what did the old woman do when she came into the palace and became King Wu Rong's sweetheart, what was her idea

Looking at the eyes that were supposed to protect Yinhuo in the dark, it seemed that she was going to be like a fire, and slowly approached, and she was even more angry when she didn't hide the jade beggar, she was not as good as this old woman in any place

Chen Qiaoqiao just smiled, watching the royal family laugh, she knew very well that there were many mistakes in saying that since there was King Wu Rong in the way, it was better for her not to speak.

Looking at the Wuzang Yuqi on the stage, she wore a strong suit for sumo wrestling today, which was very pretty. It's just that he didn't hide the jade beggar's eyes but stopped in one place, looking like he was complaining about his advantage.

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but look over, her heart jumped, and she saw Yinhuo coming over, and even Chen Qiaoqiao, who was far away, felt the anger clearly.

Empress Dowager Gao held Chen Qiaoqiao's hand, clearly felt her panic, couldn't help but look sideways, saw Yinhuo coming, Empress Dowager Gao's loving comfort, "You don't have to be afraid, that's the general in the palace, although wearing a mask is very mad, but the person is good" Chen Qiaoqiao's heart beat more and more, the silver fire was clearly Chen Qiaoqiao who was walking towards her thought of a lot of possibilities, but she didn't expect to meet Yinhuo in the palace

Isn't he still outside the palace, the matter is getting more and more serious, Chen Qiaoqiao feels that this entering the palace is really the most wrong thing, originally came to paint a portrait, how could it develop like this

King Wu Rong pulled Chen Qiaoqiao without a trace, and said with a smile: "This Lord Yin's evil spirit is too heavy, and the beauty who scared me didn't hide the girl's love thread, and he didn't let his sharpness be reduced by a point."
