The eunuchs and palace maids in Ci'an Palace, in and out, looked very lively, and as soon as Zhao Shi arrived, he was taken in without having to pass through.

Zhao Shi took a look, the lights here are colorful, and it is obvious that he has begun to prepare for the upcoming New Year, and the three-year period has passed since the emperor's funeral, and the palace seems to be going to be lively.

The death of Emperor Jing may be a big blow to the Empress Dowager Zhao, but it has no impact on the status of Ci'an Palace in the palace, and even the honor is better than in the past.

When Emperor Chengwu ascended the throne, he did not choose one of Emperor Jing's concubines and was regarded as the queen mother.

There is nothing strange about the weak royal family affection, most of which are due to interests, and at this time, it seems that the Empress Dowager did not say a word before and after the Chang'an Rebellion, which is really a wise move.

Entering the inner hall, the empress dowager has not yet come out, but she has already passed on the palace people and passed on the wine and food.

Zhao Shi waited for a while, and the Empress Dowager walked out with a smile under the support of the palace people.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, the Empress Dowager came to the main seat and sat down, waved her hand and ordered Zhao Shi to sit down.

Zhao Shi looked at it, compared to a few years ago, the Empress Dowager was very old, her head was half white, her walking was staggering, and her face could only occasionally make people think of the charm of the year.

More than 20 years have passed, and if you do the math, the Queen Mother is also a person who is in her seventies.

There are no outsiders, Zhao Shi is also a lot more casual, and after sitting down, he said with a smile: "I have been away for a few years, and I have a lot of memories in my heart, and today I see that my mother is in good health." The minister was relieved. And the mother is here. It's much more lively than ever......"

The Empress Dowager seemed to be in a very good mood, but whether she spoke or moved, she was a little sluggish.

"When people are old, what is lively or not is not like that...... It's only today that you're here, and it's a bit popular here, on weekdays. How can you be so noisy, you are away all the year round, it is not easy to enter the palace, don't fool the palace with those flattering words, and chat with my old man for a while, even if you have that filial piety. ”

"By the way, look at this memory...... I heard that you brought back a bearded girl on the grassland, and it was still a princess, and before you came back, it was spread all over the palace and outside the palace. Why, I didn't bring it in this time. Don't you say that you should bring it over to the palace to take a look, what's the matter, I think the palace is old and dizzy, and the memory is not good, so don't you take it seriously? ”

After the Chang'an Rebellion, the Empress Dowager did suddenly age a lot, and her speech began to babble, no different from the old people in the people's homes.

It's just that at this age, there are fewer scruples, laugh when you want to laugh, get angry when you want to be angry, do whatever you want without exceeding the rules, in fact, this is the age that you are talking about.

Zhao Shi explained with a smile, "The minister entered the palace this time, he came to thank him, where do he dare to bring a female dependent, if the mother wants to see her, the minister will send her over in a few days, but the Hu people don't understand the rules, don't annoy the mother......"

The Empress Dowager has already laughed, although she has reached this age, she is not deaf or blind, don't look at the old man, her body is indeed very healthy.

The Zhao family in Qinzhou has repeatedly produced long-lived people, but it is not unreasonable, and now the Zhao family, two important people, are alive, which is proof, and it is also the blessing of the family.

"You, the person you see, this palace can be clear, in addition to dancing knives and guns, the mind is also more clever than the other, just say that Qin Qihai girl, every time I see this palace, I like it in my heart, this time you brought this back, it is estimated that he is a clever person, but this palace is going to talk about you......"

While speaking, he took the teacup from the hand of Gong E, who was holding back a smile, rinsed his mouth, spit it into a silver basin, and then continued: "This palace has been in the palace for many years, but I haven't seen a single bearded girl, but one after another in your mansion, the emperor is still young, the respect of the ninety-five, it is not that there is no jealousy and comparison, compared to each other, but it has become a disaster, this above, you have to think clearly." ”

This is what the Empress Dowager can say, even if others can think of it in their hearts, they will never dare to declare it, but such words are the real good words and persuasions, or they all say it, there is an old man in the family who has been in the palace for decades, and in many things, he may not have any foresight, but on the topic of women and emperors, no one has more say than this old man.

Zhao Shi nodded, and said with this words: "Thank you Niangniang for your teachings, no, the minister came back from the north, but he also brought back a few real women from the Western Regions...... However, the background is too humble, and I don't understand the etiquette of the Han family, so I happened to come to Niangniang, and I wanted to ask Niangniang for advice, if it was dedicated to the emperor, it was not in accordance with the rules. ”

The Empress Dowager immediately became interested, and casually waved away the palace lady who was dangling the cloth vegetables in front of her, raised her head slightly, and said: "You, you understand the big things, but the small things are confused, a few bearded girls...... Just send it to the palace teaching workshop, whether they can occupy a place in the palace in the future, it depends on their ability, do you still want to hold it in your hands and send it to the emperor? ”

"They have a firm foothold in the palace, they will naturally think of your benefits, you are a general, fighting for their status, the name of inviting favor will fall on the head first, you are not good at talking to the queen, and there are so many women in the palace, which one of you has climbed to the sky with her mother's family?"

"If you are good at singing and dancing, you will send it to the workshop, if you only have good looks, you will send it to the queen's palace to fan, and it can also show the royal majesty, if you have neither, what are you sending to the palace for? Is it embarrassing? ”

Zhao Shi has never done this, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he knows nothing about it, and several staff members in the palace also know nothing about it, and under random inquiry, their opinions are also different, this time he really asked the right person.

"Niangniang's guidance really made the ministers suddenly, in fact, it was just the minister's thoughts, those women in the Western Regions also looked special, and the others could not be compared with the women of my Han family, just adding a scenery to the palace."

"Well, this sounds good, but the woman from the Western Regions ...... I haven't seen you in Chang'an City for hundreds of years, right? Western regions...... You went to the north, and the Western Regions should be in the northwest, so how did you bring it back? Have you checked the origin, you need to be careful about this. ”

"Niangniang rest assured, the minister will be allied with the grassland tribes in the north, those merchants heard the news, among them there is a merchant from the Western Regions, who brought these female slaves from the Western Regions, the origin can not be checked, they are all from the Western Regions countries and the more distant Taixi territory, the female slaves are on the grassland, the status is very low, almost no different from cattle and sheep, except for looking at the fresh, there is nothing to watch out for."

"The minister is here, I just want to bring a few people back, show me the majesty of Daqin, and show that my Daqin is strong, so the best place to go is still in the palace, if it doesn't work, the minister can send people to the sect department, just like Niangniang said, staying in the minister's mansion is really eye-catching."

"Your heart, it's too ruthless, if you change others, you may not be able to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade...... If this palace still has that spiritual head, it would be okay for you to send it to this palace, but now this palace, I just want to live in peace, as for how you juniors toss themselves, this palace doesn't want to care too much. ”

"Okay, in this way, thanks to you, I can also see the style of the Western Regions when I come to this palace later, but I am much luckier than others."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

Gong E, who had been standing beside her, glanced at Zhao Shi slightly, and quickly explained, "Niangniang, in this palace in the future, it seems that there will be a lively scene again, tsk, I have always heard that the head, eyes, and skin color of women in the Western Regions are very different from ours, this time I want to see what kind of different method it is." ”

"Okay, okay, these words are also thanks to your mouth, if someone says that we don't have knowledge, if you have this time, hurry up and let them hurry up, this back and forth, the eyes of the people who are shaking are spent."

The Empress Dowager eased her face, smiled and commanded again and again, and then smiled at Zhao Shi: "Don't be stupid, your amount of wine and food has been spread all over the palace, what are you polite, hurry up and use it, and when they have all the dishes, everything is warm and spit, where can it be sweet?" ”

Zhao Shi thought for a while, and then said: "Niangniang, don't be busy first, take advantage of the joy, the minister has a happy event here, I want to tell you?" ”

"Oh......" The Empress Dowager laughed, obviously, she was very happy to see Zhao Shi, and she laughed again and again, and she never stopped.

"But the girl is pregnant, this palace has heard about it a long time ago, it is indeed a happy event, the people in your house are thin, every time you think of it, this palace is panicked, if the people are not prosperous, you are beautiful outside, what can you do?"

Zhao Shi hurriedly shook his head, "Lao Niangniang is so worried, the minister is guiltless...... It's just that what the minister said is not this, it is a real happy event, a few days ago, King Guiyi sent someone to pass a book to the minister, talking about the princess and the heirs, and there are many worries about improper status. ”

"The minister just thought, I'm afraid that King Guiyi still wants to marry a Han noblewoman, thinking that it will be inherited...... This is a good thing, my Qinzhou Zhao family, if there is a good girl, you might as well match it, in the public and private, there are great benefits, but I don't know, what does Niangniang mean here? ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her face immediately became stern, because this matter was already related to Sheji......

(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for praise, it's starting to be unbearable today, damn the hell weather.) (To be continued......)
