Cining Palace has a new look today, it is red inside and out, and the color is brighter than the emperor's wedding.

But the furnishings in the house are still so regular, which makes people feel depressed.

However, Li Zhao and Yang Houzhao are both big-hearted people, and they have long been unable to see the characteristics of the Queen Mother.

For the Chinese New Year, the Queen Mother seems to be in a good mood today, and she doesn't give people a cold face.

However, Yang Houzhao was still afraid that the queen mother would suddenly change her face, so before eating, when Li Zhao went out, he sat behind the queen mother and said: "Queen mother, discuss something, you are not allowed to scold Ah Zhao for the New Year today." ”

The queen mother looked back at her son, and her eyes were full of hatred: "The emperor, the queen mother is also good for you, you are the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, you want to be evenly stained with rain and dew, so that you can spread the branches and leaves for the royal family." ”

Yang Houzhao said impatiently: "You are here again, can you become a son?" ”

The Queen Mother frowned, she had already thought about beating the woman who didn't know the height of the sky, how could she not talk about her?

Yang Houzhao saw that his mother didn't speak, and said with a smile: "Okay, then the more you treat her, the better I will treat her, and I will do what I say." ”

The Queen Mother would have wanted to strangle him, if not herself.

After talking to his mother, Yang Houzhao walked out of the palace gate with his hands behind his back, and there was still a period of time before the New Year, so he went to set off the cannonball.

After the emperor left, Wang Yun went to serve in front of the queen mother, and Wang Yun asked tentatively: "Niangniang, do you still want to reprimand the queen?" Otherwise, don't talk about it for the New Year. ”

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, otherwise wait for the first day of the new year?

*****

The sound of firecrackers said goodbye, and soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wang Yun laid a thick futon in front of the Queen Mother, Yang Houzhao knelt in front of the Queen Mother and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.

However, in a patriarchal society, only the man has this "honor", and Li Zhao does not use it.

The Queen Mother wrapped a thick red envelope for her son.

Then it's time to eat.

Originally, the Queen Mother didn't plan to talk about Li Zhao today.

But the emperor and queen were eating dumplings opposite each other, and they had to frown.

Yes, it is said that the night sheng song, today's New Year's Day, can be regarded as delaying them.

As for a meal?

The Queen Mother held the dumplings and said: "This New Year's dumpling looks like it doesn't have the grandchildren and grandchildren of the dumplings, I don't know if the skin is wrong or the filling is wrong." ”

It may be that the person who packs it is wrong.

Li Zhao and Yang Hou glanced at each other, they were coming.

Yang Houzhao raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother, and his tone was dissatisfied: "Queen Mother, what did we say before?" ”

The Queen Mother said, "Shut up." She didn't say anything, she just protected it.

Yang Houzhao pursed his mouth and looked at his mother, but his eyes were full of warnings, it was okay to shut up, but if the queen mother dared to say his Ah Zhao, he opened it.

The Queen Mother glared at him, looked at Li Zhao and said, "Queen, are you pregnant?" She just said, but said, what's wrong.

Yang Houzhao put down his chopsticks and was about to lose his temper.

Li Zhao suddenly clutched his stomach and said, "Oops, oops, my stomach hurts." ”

The people around were shocked and rushed to serve.

The Queen Mother said: "Why is it good, and suddenly my stomach hurts again?" Don't look at the mourners who said that you deliberately pretended to be sick in two sentences, right? ”

Yang Hou took care of Li Zhao's face was pale, and he was so angry that his blood was surging, he looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, what are all the people?" It's too much, Ah Zhao will never pay attention to you again. After speaking, quickly let someone pass the imperial doctor.

The queen was taken away by the emperor like this, and the palace people were still waiting carefully, but she only said a word.

The queen mother slammed her chopsticks and was angry, obviously she didn't say anything, and she was sure that she would have to bear the charge of embarrassing her daughter-in-law for a while.

Wang Yun said at this time: "Niangniang, the queen looks really sick." ”

Yes?!

The Queen Mother looked up.

****

Most of the palace lights in the house were extinguished, leaving the one under the bed, and the faint orange light illuminated the people who were drowsy.

Li Zhao closed her eyes, and Aunt Qin helped her rub her stomach and said, "The slave maid still thinks that you are scaring the Queen Mother, but you are really sick, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

She is not sick, but she has eaten some aloe vera, and aloe vera has diarrhea and accumulation, so she will have diarrhea and reaction.

Why do you pretend to look so similar? Otherwise, how to get rid of the Queen Mother and continue the next plan?

Li Zhao didn't explain anything, and asked, "Long live the lord?" ”

Aunt Qin said: "Listen to the imperial doctor's consultation, Niangniang, do you want to call Long Live Master?" ”

Li Zhao's heart calmed down, shook his head and said, "I'll sleep first, you can find a time to sleep too." ”

But she had to take care of the queen, who was sick.

What else did Aunt Qin say, the queen had already closed her eyes, and the needles in the room could be heard.

Aunt Qin hung her shoulders helplessly, Niangniang is strong, and she doesn't want to trouble others when she is sick.

***

Outside the hall, the Queen Mother and Yang Houzhao were there, waiting for the imperial doctor to reply.

Today's imperial physician happens to be Xue Lizhai.

In order to clear her name, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" Stomach aches, is it pregnant? ”

Xue Lizhai respectfully saluted the two, and then said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the queen is not pregnant, but she has a bad stomach, and it is difficult for the queen to get pregnant for the time being, and she is not pregnant." ”

He said so, who cares about what the queen eats.

The Queen Mother seemed to grab Li Zhao's tail, and said excitedly and angrily: "Can't get pregnant? She can't get pregnant, can she? The mourning family said that she couldn't be petted, she couldn't give birth to children at all, right? ”

Yang Houzhao was anxious and said: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense, how can the queen not be able to conceive a child, do you know that she can't conceive a child?" Why can't you conceive a child? ”

Xue Lizhai said unhurriedly: "Because this house is newly renovated, right?" ”

Yang Houzhao and the Queen Mother were stunned.

Xue Lizhai looked around, and then nodded: "Long live the Lord, Qingning Palace is newly renovated, and a lot of cinnabar paint and gilt mercury are used in it...... These things will affect fertility, Niangniang has not been pregnant for so long in the palace, and the minister has doubts before, and today I look at it, and the problem is here. ”

Yang Houzhao looked at the Queen Mother again.

The Queen Mother asked Xue Lizhai: "Isn't that the queen's problem herself?" ”

Xue Lizhai said: "The queen is in good health, and she can't see any problems with the palace in the pulse, so she should be able to give birth." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was a little indignant, why was she still happy for Li Zhao?

Yang Houzhao asked Xue Lizhai again: "Does the newly decorated house really have an impact on fertility?" ”

Qingning Palace is the place where he married Li Zhao, so he cleaned it up single-handedly, how could it be the reason for Li Zhao's fertility?

Xue Lizhai's voice was still unhurried: "Actually, it's not just that, there are also some spices in the palace, etc., all of which have an impact." ”

Therefore, Taizu has more than ten sons, and Taizong has a lot, but the more he goes to the harem, the fewer children are born, and he is willing to die young, and there are factors in this regard.

Xue Lizhai continued: "The minister has a book, otherwise you will take a closer look?" ”

Yang Houzhao had already believed Xue Lizhai's words, and he nodded and said, "Prescribe medicine for the queen, and show it to me by the way." ”
