Chapter 234
Yinhuo secretly monitored Wei Ziyan, the head of the Wei family, and followed him to this Chen Qiaoqiao's auction conference, hiding in the dark and seeing King Wu Rong in the limelight, Chen Qiaoqiao looked at him with gratitude and admiration, and his heart was like a cat's paws, painful and worried
Later, I saw this King Wu Rong and Chen Qiaoqiao sitting together, talking and laughing, Yinhuo completely felt that he was about to collapse, that was his wife, why did he smile at King Wu Rong
It seems that he wants to prevent their relationship from further fermenting, if he loses Chen Qiaoqiao's heart, what is the point of him doing so much
The only thing that can be relied on is the emperor's secret decision of the silver fire, and a flying body has disappeared above the city wall
Because this tea sells well, Chen Qiaoqiao is very bold and gives everyone red envelopes, each of which has as much as ten taels of silver, where have they seen such a formation, they are all happy, it is indispensable, even Wu Er's family has also been allocated red envelopes, and they are even more hard at cooking, and they arrange it every day and the New Year, and they are clamoring to help when they leave school, Ye Wanrong often brings two children to sit down, but she has become a confidant with Xu Huifang, who is bored.
After this Ye Wanrong went through Xiaobao's matter, she was almost reborn, and her previous evil spirit was almost impossible to find, she was respectful to Chen Qiaoqiao, and she was also kind and friendly to Xu Huifang, it was really unbelievable that people could change so much
Because the freshest leaves in this jujube tea field have been picked, and then there are thicker leaves, Chen Qiaoqiao is ready to fry some more, even if it is a cheap tea, supplied to ordinary people, it can't just aim at the high-end market
On this day, Chen Qiaoqiao was supervising the work, and there was a dusty scene in the distance, Chen Qiaoqiao was overjoyed, could it be that Wang Qi was so good and sent silver
Everyone was already surprised by such a scene, and they didn't even raise their heads
But as the target moved, a strange look appeared on Chen Qiaoqiao's face, this momentum was huge, and the appearance of many people did not look like Wang Qi, he was afraid that the matter would be known, even if he sent money, he didn't dare to be so blatant, when he came to the front, Chen Qiaoqiao was definitely not the same group of people, because the person at the head turned out to be Wang Duo
Chen Qiaoqiao was very surprised, I haven't seen him for a long time
"Mrs. Chen's emperor is affectionate, please enter the palace immediately" Chen Qiaoqiao was really startled, why did Song Shenzong find himself for no reason to provoke the Empress Dowager Gao, Chen Qiaoqiao was already trembling, fortunately, she held Wang Qi's pigtail, which saved a trouble, why did the emperor think of her
"Brother Wang, do you know what the emperor is looking for me to do" Chen Qiaoqiao was a little flustered, Wang Duo lowered her eyes, "Sister-in-law don't need to panic, the emperor heard that Mrs. Wang's painting art is a must, and he specially wanted to invite Mrs. Wang's wife into the palace to paint portraits of the queen mother and concubines, and the emperor said that the remuneration is not a problem, and please ask Mrs. to leave quickly, don't make the emperor wait for a long time"
Chen Qiaoqiao was slightly relieved, but she regretted it in her heart, she knew that revealing her painting would cause a lot of trouble, and she shouldn't have pointed to this money-making in the first place
It's just that Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't refuse the emperor's call, so Chen Qiaoqiao had to simply give a few words, go home and dress up for a while, put on the dresses and accessories that she thought were the best, and followed Wang Duo into the palace.
I thought that I would be able to see Song Shenzong when I entered the palace, but Wang Duo took her directly to the harem
It turned out that the emperor got Yinhuo's request, and he also suspected that King Wu Rong's motive for approaching Chen Qiaoqiao was not pure, so he thought of trapping her in the harem
The first person Chen Qiaoqiao saw was Empress Xiang, who got up early to get the emperor's will, saying that she wanted to keep Chen Qiaoqiao to live in the palace for a while, and specially asked her to clean up the Shanghua Palace and give Chen Qiaoqiao a place to live alone, and the Empress Xiang's heart only played drums.
Shanghua Palace is the bedroom of Chen Jieyu, the favored concubine of Song Shenzong, this woman is beautiful, talented, composing music and lyrics, all can't, the most popular Song Shenzong, but unfortunately a fever took her life a few years ago, Song Shenzong also cried a lot about it, and therefore took great care of Chen Jieyu's sister, and only a few years ago she was canonized as Concubine Chen,
The emperor arranged such a woman in Shanghua Palace, and the metaphor is really interesting
Queen Xiang had seen Chen Qiaoqiao, and at first she just thought that this woman was lucky and could be favored by King Wu Rong, but after learning about her background, she was very surprised, and she also knew that the Queen Mother would never agree.
It's just that after the emperor knew about it, he admired a strange woman and praised her for living such a wonderful life as a widow, which was really not easy.
At that time, Empress Xiang didn't take it to heart, but looking at the emperor's actions, the emperor was interested in her at that time, but this woman was King Wu Rong's favorite person
Because Xiang is older than Shenzong and has a mediocre appearance, she is not favored by Shenzong, but Shenzong respects her very much. The Xiang clan is humble by nature, generous-hearted, and never interferes in the private life of the Divine Sect, so the husband and wife have never blushed, and the concubines in the palace are also harmonious under her influence, at least on the surface.
However, it does not mean that she is a submissive woman, if the emperor makes her brother discordant and the government is turbulent for this woman, she must not sit idly by
Although this Chen Qiaoqiao is a widow, it is said that she is not qualified to enter the palace as a concubine, but in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, there are many people who are lower than her
Among the many queens of the Song Dynasty, the one with the smallest background, the most strange experience, the most power, and the most controversy is probably Liu E, the queen of Song Zhenzong.
Liu E's background was one of the most talked about topics among scholars at that time. Her ancestral home is Taiyuan, her grandfather is a general, her father is an assassin, when she was still an infant, her father died in battle, her mother also died, became an orphan, and was adopted by well-wishers and grew up in Yizhou. Adopted by a family surnamed Pang, I don't know if the Pang family is poor, or Liu Tong did not collect property during his lifetime, although Liu E is the daughter of the assassin and is literate, she has learned the skills of making a living by beating the mole with one hand, and is good at speaking drum words.
When Liu E was thirteen or fourteen years old, the Pang family married her to a young silversmith, Gong Mei. Liu E married her husband and followed Gong Mei to the capital to make a living.
Gong Mei is outstanding, kind, and good at making friends, especially with Zhang Qi, who was on an errand in the Xiangwang Mansion. King Xiang is the future Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, at this time his name is still Zhao Yuankan, and he has not yet been canonized as the crown prince.
Fifteen-year-old Liu E and Zhao Heng had a first meeting and entered the Xiangwang Mansion, Zhao Heng was not married at that time, and he heard that the Shu girl was both talented and beautiful, so he asked his entourage to secretly look for one. Liu E showed up with her husband to make money, and she had a good reputation, known to Zhao Heng's entourage, Gong Mei learned that it was the palace that chose Ji, and she was unwilling to give up, so she changed her name to Liu E's cousin and let Liu E enter the palace. However, about this story, it is also said that the Liu family is in the middle of the road, Liu E has no relatives, and the kind-hearted Gong Mei took her in and asked her to follow her to Kaifeng, and the two claimed to be cousins to the outside world, but they were not husband and wife. Anyway, only Song Zhenzong knows.
Liu E was born beautiful, smart and clever, comparable to Zhao Heng's appearance, and soon became like glue. However, Zhao Heng's nurse, Mrs. Qin Guo, looked down on Liu E's background, thought that Liu E seduced Zhao Heng on the evil path, and persuaded Zhao Heng to drive Liu E away to no avail, so she had to report to Song Taizong, Taizong was furious, and the holy decree came down together and ordered Liu E to be driven out of Beijing. And the seventeen-year-old Zhao Heng was married, at this time Zhao Heng was named the king of Han, the bride was the eighth daughter of Pan Mei of the Zhongwu Army, and the sixteen-year-old Pan was named the lady of Juguo.
However, although Zhao Heng was forced by the emperor's order to send Liu E out of the palace, he was unwilling to leave Liu E, and secretly hid Liu E in the house of Zhang Qi, the commander of the palace, and had private meetings from time to time. Sneaking like this, Liu E has passed fifteen years.
On the third day of March of the third year of Song Taizong's reign, the fifty-nine-year-old Song Taizong died of illness, and the edict was passed on to Zhao Heng, who had been established as the prince for two years. Zhao Heng inherited the unification and no longer had to secretly interact with Liu E.
Zhao Heng ascended the throne in March, although there were 3,000 beauties in the harem, Zhao Heng did not forget Liu E, and soon brought Liu E into the palace. , named Liu E as a four-grade beauty, and officially became one of the harem concubines. At that time, under Empress Guo, only Liu Meiren was the most respected, and even the concubine Yang of the palace was only awarded the title of Wupincai. At this time, Liu E can finally be with Zhenzong in a bright and bright way. Although Liu E is 36 years old, she is smart and gentle, and has always won the favor of Zhenzong, and was soon promoted to the second-grade cultivator and the first-grade concubine.
At this time, Liu E is no longer the little sister of the past, she has lived in seclusion for many years, read a lot of books, studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has long been talented. Seeing that Liu E had no relatives, she proposed to Zhenzong that she was willing to let her cousin change her surname to Liu Mei, be her brother, and inherit the incense of the Liu family. In fact, Gong Mei has long followed Zhenzong and has always been loyal, only loyal to Zhenzong. Liu Mei was an official, neither attached to the ministers, but also cared about his subordinates, and when he was outside, his entourage and soldiers were rotated regularly according to the provincial nationality, and he never cultivated his own private power.
Later, Empress Guo died of grief because of the unfortunate death of her beloved son, although Zhenzong wanted to make Liu E the queen, but Liu E had no heirs and was from a humble background, and the ministers did not agree, but asked to canonize the fourteen-year-old talented Shen as the queen. Although Shen Cairen only entered the palace in the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, she was born noble and was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shen Lun. The true sect was displeased, so he simply let the rear position vacant and did not talk about the future. However, although Liu E has been favored for many years, she cannot get pregnant. The maid Li next to her suddenly dreamed one day that the immortal descended to become a son, Zhenzong and Liu E were overjoyed and came up with a "way to give birth to a child in the womb." Li gave birth to a son, Zhao Yingying, who later became Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong.
