Chapter 450: The Empress Dowager

Li Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”

The Queen Mother angrily picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and Li Zhao pointed to the seat on the left at this time: "Was it arranged by the Queen Mother?" It's not Erchen, Erchen feels like a big man. ”

When she said this, the queen mother was choked in a panic, and she was just about to blame Li Zhao for scaring her.

Xiao Wang suddenly said loudly on the side: "Queen Mother, full of friends, why have the courtiers never seen Niangniang invite her grandmother to come?" ”

Queen Mother: "......"

She didn't give a signal, so she hurriedly gave her sister a look, but she was far away from the upper and lower Wang clans and couldn't see it.

still looked at Li Zhao with noble and disdainful eyes, it was a kind of accusatory gaze, saying that the queen was not filial.

Because after all, she is the queen's own grandmother.

So the accusation is actually a provocation, and the atmosphere around is tense, waiting for the emperor to take over this mention.

Suddenly, a majestic old voice came from the door of the shed: "A woman without a title, and the queen doesn't know the rules, why should such a person be invited to a good banquet?" ”

When this man spoke, everyone wondered who was coming.

Then there was the high-pitched and urgent voice of the chamberlain: "The Empress Dowager has arrived, and the Emperor has arrived ......"

It is not unusual for the emperor to come, it is actually the queen mother who has been widowed for many years and has not shown up at any holiday party.

Whether it is the following ladies or the queen mother, they are a little messy.

Hurriedly stepped down from the distinguished chair to greet people.

In the midst of everyone's kneeling, a sunny man in a bright yellow dragon robe walked in with an old woman with a slightly crooked back.

The woman was dressed in the most ordinary blue dress, and her head was tied in a bun with sparse real hair, and there was no expensive jewelry, only a wooden hairpin was used to fix the bun.

At first glance, she is an ordinary old woman who can no longer be ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that the skin on her face is white and delicate, there are no wrinkles, her eyes are sharp and bright, and her temperament is indifferent, but she has a proud style that cannot be ignored.

So this is the Queen Mother?

Miss Wu.

In Li Zhao's memory, the empress dowager is like thunder and a person with a very good story.

The cause has to start with Yingzong, Yingzong was captured, Daizong became the emperor, and he wanted his son to be the prince in front of him.

Then Xianzong, who was still the prince at the time, was very difficult to behave, so he developed a very cowardly character for Xianzong, and he stuttered.

The final result was that a palace maid named Wan Zhen'er became the backbone of Xianzong.

Miss Wu's father is a very famous Confucian student, her mother can sing and dance, and Miss Wu herself is also very beautiful.

But such a young and beautiful queen, Xianzong didn't like it, he only felt that the dignified Queen Wu was beautiful and cold, so after the wedding, Miss Wu was left out in the cold.

There are historical sources that say that Wan Guifei provoked Queen Wu when Queen Wu was left out in the cold, and then Queen Wu was fooled, without saying a word, she pressed Wan Guifei on the stool and hit the board, and as a result, of course, Xianzong was furious and abolished the queen.

After the election, it was an extremely troublesome matter, let alone after the abolition, the ministers at that time did not think that beating an old concubine could become a reason for the abolition, but the emperor finally found a feasible excuse in theory, abolished Empress Wu, demoted to a concubine, and left her in the West Palace.

In this matter, Li Zhao didn't want to comment on who was good and who was bad between Empress Wu and Wan Zhen'er, of course, her position was that men were bad and the system was bad, so Xianzong loved Wan Guifei like that, and she could still sleep with a palace maid for Mao?

Otherwise, where did Xiaozong come from?

It can only be said that the favored one is called Gong Dou, and if there is no favor, it will be Miss Wu's end, and after it will be abolished in less than a month, what is the fight?

But this Miss Wu did something that had a great impact on the rest of her life, that is, when Xianzong was still a "wild child", the palace maid had no money, and she gave "milk powder money".

Later, Wan Zhen'er never lived him, and Xianzong didn't live him.

Xiaozong ascended the throne, thanked her for her nurturing grace back then, and was honored as the queen mother.

And Xiaozong's real biological mother was killed by Wan Guifei a long time ago, so after the two unruly lovers died, although Miss Wu was not Xiaozong's own mother, she was unique and noble.

Yang Houzhao actually invited this old ancestor, and of course the little wolf dog would face her, so Li Zhao was not a little panicked, but very calm.

After the Queen Mother saluted, she went to help the Empress Dowager Wu, she was on the other side of her son, and asked with a smile: "Queen Mother, why didn't you tell your son early when you came, so that your son could pick you up." ”

She smiled very restrainedly, because Xiaozong was filial to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was also very grateful to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager did not embarrass the Queen Mother, patted her hand and said: "The emperor said to let the mourning family come out for a walk, meet those old friends, the mourning family is fine, and come over." ”

"Yes." When the Queen Mother replied respectfully, Yang Houzhao called Li Zhao at this time: "Imperial grandmother, this is the queen of the grandson." ”

He also said: "Ah Zhao come closer, the imperial grandmother has a meeting gift for you." ”

Queen Mother: "......"

She seemed to remember the four boxes of dowry.

The Empress Dowager laughed: "If you don't give it, you can't give it, if you don't give it to the emperor, you think the mourning family is stingy." ”

She was humorous and kind, different from Fang Cai's sharp reprimand for Xiao Wang, and the laughter brought back the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Then Li Zhao respectfully called the imperial grandmother and accepted the greeting gift.

This family is over.

Then the Queen Mother and Li Zhao invited the Queen Mother to a seat, and the Queen Mother said: "The mourning family did not greet in advance, that position is not the mourning family, the mourning family is sitting here." ”

She was referring to the exalted position on the upper left.

The Queen Mother and Li Zhao both understood at this time that this position was prepared for the Queen Mother, and it was invited by the little emperor.

There were elders present, and the little Wang family was rude, the queen mother felt that her face was hot, and she glanced at Li Zhao, her eyes were extremely resentful, and she blamed her for why she didn't tell her.

Li Zhao pouted secretly, she didn't know, no wonder Yang Houzhao let her go and did it, because she had the support of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager is indeed here to support Li Zhao, and when everyone is seated, the Empress Dowager is kind and said that everyone should not be restrained, the queen is young, young people are not formal, and it is best to let go.

But as soon as he turned his head, he looked at Xiao Wang with a sharp gaze: "Fang is the one who blames Mrs. Xu for not inviting the queen to wait for her grandmother?" ”

Xiao Wang's mother-in-law's surname is Xu.

Without waiting for Xiao Wang's reply, the Empress Dowager said repeatedly: "The queen is my royal daughter-in-law, of course she does things according to the royal rules, is there no rule in Mrs. Xu's house?" You're going to let irrelevant people into the house?

If your family can't, then why spoil the Pope, what is the intention? ”
