On a September day, the place where there are chrysanthemums in the palace is yellow.

The Queen Mother likes chrysanthemum hermits and has experienced wind and frost and high wind and bright festivals, so she asked Wang Yun to accompany her and come out to enjoy the flowers.

The flowers have not yet bloomed, and there is still nearly half a month of flowering, the Queen Mother looked at the huge buds and said: "At this time in previous years, those ladies also had to hold a flower party at home. ”

Wang Yun understood as soon as he heard it, the Queen Mother was lonely.

The husband died, a son married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, the daughter-in-law was still unfilial and disobedient, and there was no grandson on her knees, and the queen mother was lonely.

Wang Yun said: "Otherwise, you will also hold a flower party, the ladies did not greet the lady during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now you must be thinking about it." ”

The Queen Mother wants to call the ladies for another purpose, that is, she wants to block Li Zhao, but how can she add a big block?

Help the queen find a woman? This kind of thing feels unattainable now, so the odds are not necessarily great.

She asked: "The mourning family remembers that the queen was engaged to marry before entering the palace?" ”

Wang Yun didn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned this stubble.

Nodding cautiously.

Really, a woman who has been divorced can still be a queen, so a lowly background has to hug her noble son every day, the queen mother shivered, and her whole body began to feel uncomfortable.

After a while, she asked, "That man is a young Hanlin, right?" The one who got married the other day? ”

Wang Yundao: "Because she is married to Lord Yang's youngest daughter, it is quite a sensation, and she has just been married for less than a month." “

The Queen Mother looked into the distance and nodded: "Let Mrs. Yang bring this Hanlin wife too." ”

Anyone who can see the queen mother can enter the palace, unless they are relatives, otherwise they must have a fate, Yang Wanying only married Han Che, and there is no title, and Han Che's rank is too low, and he can't enter the palace if he asks for the title of wife.

The Queen Mother wants to invite people in, which is very meaningful.

Wang Yun said: "This is not in accordance with the rules, if the queen knows......"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Do you still need her approval to hold a flower party for the mourning family?" Besides, the mourning family just wants her to know. ”

Wang Yun nodded suddenly.

The Queen Mother thought for a while and explained: "But when the person hasn't come yet, don't let her know yet." ”

"Yes."

****

Yang Houzhao heard from Gao Feng that the Queen Mother was going to set up a chrysanthemum banquet, and asked Li Zhao during dinner: "Is it very hard to help the Queen Mother manage the banquet?" Whether you are on the fifteenth day of the first month, or the fifteenth day of August, the peach blossoms, pear blossoms, apricot blossoms, peony blossoms, and she will set up a banquet for the little cub under the goldfish. ”

He is lazy himself, and of course he thinks that his daughter-in-law doesn't care about these idle things.

Li Zhao blinked when he heard this: "The queen mother wants to hold a banquet?" ”

Yang Houzhao said: "You don't know? ”

After speaking, his brows furrowed.

Because Li Zhao is the queen, even if the harem is the queen mother's idea, it should go through her.

"So, the queen mother didn't tell you at all? That's not to mention. ”

Li Zhao thought to herself that this old woman was afraid that she was going to make another trick, so she smiled at Yang Houzhao: "Well, I listen to Long Live Lord." ”

She doesn't care.

****

Three days later, at noon, before the Queen Mother was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard unpleasant news.

She smashed the pillow on Wang Yun's head: "The mourning posts have been released, you said that the internal officials and supervisors refused to buy it, so when the ladies come to drink the northwest wind, they really only look at the flowers?" ”

The Inner Eunuch is one of the twelve eunuchs, who is in charge of the distribution and purchase of silver money in the Inner Palace.

Wang Yun was also very helpless, and said: "It was said that if the queen didn't give a seal, she wouldn't be able to get the money." ”

Originally, the twelve eunuchs performed their own duties, and the palm print eunuchs had the final say, but since Li Zhao took over the inner palace, the palm print eunuchs of the inner palace eunuchs have been replaced.

Formerly the Queen Mother's person.

So this merchant girl doesn't know anything, she just sells money, and she cares most about money, and the internal officials and supervisors are strictly controlled.

The Queen Mother said: "No wonder, no wonder I would rather not learn anything from the mourning family, but also get the seal in my hand and wait for the mourning family here?" The mourning family is the mistress of the harem, and the emperor is born in the mourning family, and now she is here to restrict the mourning family from spending money? It really doesn't make sense. ”

But she is the queen.

Wang Yun looked at the Queen Mother with pleading eyes: "What do you say about it?" ”

The queen mother also threw away the quilt, pointed outside and said, "Prepare a sedan chair for the mourning family and go to Qingning Palace." ”

Wang Yun hesitated: "Niangniang, you go to Qingning Palace, isn't this okay?" ”

The Queen Mother yelled: "If the mourning family doesn't go, can she come if she is called?" ”

Wang Yun: "......"

*****

What Li Zhao hates the most is that others disturb her sleeping, but this person is the queen mother and mother-in-law, and she can't scold people.

After changing his clothes, he walked out of the dormitory, and saw the Queen Mother sitting on the throne in the main hall with a black face and noble clothes, which was extremely majestic.

Li Zhao smiled suddenly, walked up to the Queen Mother and curtsied: "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Why did the mourning family come?" How did it come about? I really don't know, I still have to laugh if I don't know? You're a thief. ”

Li Zhao thought for a while: "No." ”

So she waited so long and she replied that she didn't? Death refuses to admit that he is wrong.

The queen mother said: "Take out the seal, you won't be the master of the inner palace, and the mourning family will take care of it yourself." ”

Li Zhao said: "Erchen feels that the affairs of the inner palace are handled by the ministers handy, and they don't need the help of others, especially the queen mother, who is old, how can the son let the queen mother take care of it, that is unfilial piety." ”

Say she's old?

"You are unfilial now, you refuse to entertain guests and friends on August 15, the face of the mourning family has been lost by you, I heard that you have released many palace maids in the inner palace, and the inner servants refuse to enter, what are you going to do?"

Li Zhao said: "Save money." ”

Oh my God, did you hear it wrong, they are the heavenly family, and the heavenly family saves money?

The Queen Mother was incredulous, and said: "I have never seen a poor queen like you, if you are really from a bad background, bring the seal." ”

That's a bit of a personal attack.

Li Zhao said: "Queen Mother, is it really so ugly to say? Must be born as a hero? Just because Erchen is in business, he is poor and inferior? ”

"What else do you want? That's already good to hear. The Queen Mother refused to take back her words.

Li Zhaodao: "Now that the treasury is empty, do you know that at the end of last year, the Northwest sergeant made a military mutiny because the military salary could not be paid?" Am I poor? These things I do can save 30,000 taels of silver for the harem a year, do you think it is less? All taxes in Gansu Province.

And you said that I was poor and sour, I can't agree with it, back then, Empress Taizu encouraged the harem to be self-sufficient, and the queen's clothes were all sewn by herself, and she didn't buy them for several years, no one said that she was poor and sour, and now you say that I am poor and sour? Say that a queen who saves 30,000 taels of silver a year for the harem is poor?

Besides, poor and sour people know that national affairs are important, and you have such a good education, don't you know the hard work of soldiers, so who is from a bad background? ”
