Feng Miaolian wanted to ask several times, but finally swallowed.

She didn't ask, and she couldn't ask.

Because by the time she was about to ask, Tuoba Hong was no longer back in the main hall - he was really busy. Tomorrow is the day of the big taboo.

Like a person in a dead end.

Even Baozhu, Chen Jia and other palace maids sensed the danger before the storm and didn't dare to say a word.

The pain of the beating has not healed yet, and it will soon be the end of Feng Zhaoyi's fall from grace?

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, so it is.

I don't dare to count on that bad breath of being beaten anymore.

Finally, Tuoba Hong finally returned to the main hall that night. However, just to get something, he went into the dormitory lightly and got a box.

Feng Miaolian sat in front of the dresser, but he turned a blind eye.

She finally couldn't help it, even if it was the humiliation of being inferior to Feng Miaozhi, she was willing to compromise - after all, she was the Queen Mother! It's the death of the Queen Mother!

"Your Majesty, I ......"

"You're not well, just rest well."

"The Queen Mother's Death ......"

"The queen has arranged everything perfectly, you don't need to worry about it!"

With just this sentence, Tuoba Hong went out.

Feng Miaolian lay on the bed, really feeling sick - sick to the bone marrow - the despair of being rejected by a man, but not being able to be free, unable to regain happiness.

Whether he wants it or not, whether he loves it or not—she must be here until this stinky skin dies or is destroyed!!

Even Ye Jia didn't want to think about it, and she didn't dare.

No matter how you think about it, it's an extravagant hope.

On the contrary, Ye Jia is busy with various matters every day, and he has no time to spare, and his communication with Tuoba Hong is also very smooth. It wasn't until the day of the sacrifice that he realized one thing: these days, Feng Miaolian never showed up.

Even today, she didn't show up.

Before the ceremony began, he finally couldn't hold his breath, and saw Empress Feng and her party coming in full costume, but there was no Miao Lian, what was this? Even if he is a monk, he knows the rules of the sacrifice after being in the palace for a long time, and what he can participate in the sacrifice is an affirmation of his identity-

Not to mention the royal family, even in ordinary people's homes, often only sons and daughters-in-law are allowed to sacrifice, and daughters are not qualified to sacrifice! And the daughter-in-law is doubled, and it is only the main room that is eligible, and the other concubines are not eligible.

Throughout the ages, everyone has used it as a status symbol.

Although Miao Lian is not the queen, she has always been the main priest before she got sick, and now even if there is Queen Feng, it won't let her participate, right?

Looking at the group of people led by Empress Feng, it can be said that except for the waste concubine, everyone who should participate participated.

Could it be that Feng Miaolian has become a waste concubine?

Ye Jia's heart sank, and his mind was even more disordered.

He was going to find an opportunity to ask the emperor, but in such a situation, how could he inquire into the royal family's private affairs?

As everyone knows, Tuoba Hong has been observing words and feelings, and he is also looking at Ye Jia.

Thoughtfully! Until I saw his eyes keep looking behind - that was the direction of the main hall, as if he had been wondering, why didn't Miaolian come?

Even his eyes have already looked at himself, and it seems that he is about to ask.

Ye Jiaben is a very calm person, and he will not change color when the sky falls.

Why is it so out of shape today?

Is it because of a friend?

When did it start? As long as it involves Miaolian, he is always very nervous, from her illness, to her going to the family temple, to returning to the palace...... Ye Jia always cares about everything she does.

In the past, this was normal, but today, Tuoba Hong feels very abnormal.

At least, he felt uncomfortable.

He didn't realize that he had developed an irrepressible and inexplicable hostility towards his friend. Because of the deep suppression, he did not show it in the slightest.

Not only Ye Jia, but even the concubines were extremely surprised.

According to Feng Zhaoyi's pet, she was not qualified to attend - didn't the emperor want to abolish her?

Otherwise, why did you do this to her???

When Empress Feng knew that Feng Miaolian had not come, her heart was so excited that she almost jumped out - the information of the palace maids was not wrong at all, that slut was really going to be unlucky.

She was not allowed to come on this occasion, obviously because His Majesty was not ready to give her face.

In the palace, no matter how noble a woman you are, you must be noble if the emperor makes you noble. The emperor's face is wrong, you can't be noble.

For the sake of insurance, she also made sure that Feng Zhaoyi did not come!

Lalala, her heart blossomed, but she felt that today was the best and happiest day in her life.

As the Yega master ascended the altar, the sacrifice began.

The music of the sacrifice sounded and reverberated through the palace.

Feng Miaolian stood in the garden of the Lizheng Hall in plain clothes.

Nine-song corridor, Cining Palace said that it was far away, and it was not close to it.

The surroundings were quiet, and almost all the palace maids and eunuchs were busy with this sacrifice, various rituals, and then there was a vegetarian banquet...... She knew all the rules.

She suddenly wanted to go.

Go right away.

Even if it's the last.

At least I can confide in the Queen Mother.

At least—you can see Yega.

See you again.

Be sure to see you again.

It's just such a luxury, isn't it?

She walked out, but stopped at the edge of the Imperial Garden.

The bustling palace maids held a vegetarian banquet, and the leader of them was the confidant palace maid in the queen's palace, who was arrogantly instructing everyone.

"Hurry up, don't procrastinate......"

"The queen mother said, nothing can go wrong......

"Everyone do their best, and the queen will reward ......"

……

Feng Miaolian stopped.

That's it.

This is nothing more than Empress Feng's most beautiful day - this day is enough for her to smile in front of her for many years.

Status, fame, real power - all above him.

How else can you compete with that?

Wouldn't it be humiliating to go any further?

The portrait of the Empress Dowager Feng hangs on the solemn altar.

She "passed away" in her prime, so her voice and smile still maintain the charm of her youth, dignified, elegant, and her face has a tough look that ordinary women do not have.

After her death, Tuoba Hong insisted that she be admitted to the "Jongmyao" – but the Xianbei nobles vigorously objected because the Jongmyo could only be qualified by the emperor – that is, only men were eligible to enter.

Empress Dowager Feng does not have the name of an emperor, but she has been an emperor for 20 years, and has made great contributions to the northern country, and her merits far exceed those of any ancestors and ancestors in the history of the northern country.

If she doesn't enter the Jongmyo, who is worthy of entering the Jongmyo?

Tuoba Hong originally wanted to fight on the basis of reason, but because the Queen Mother herself left a will, let alone enter the temple, she was not even willing to enter the royal mausoleum group of the ancestors of the Tuoba family.

She lived alone in a corner, neither with her husband nor with Tuobahiro.

Since then, the palace secrets, the old and the young of Xianbei have secretly said that the Empress Dowager Feng was ruthless and poisoned the first emperor Tuoba Hong in her early years, and after her death, she was afraid that Tuoba Hong would ask for her life, so she did not dare to bury the royal mausoleum group.

Tuoba Hong can be said to be the only person in the world who knows, but he can't argue with the ministers with the ** he has mastered.

So, there was only a compromise.

Luoyang has a grand temple of Empress Dowager Feng.

The ladies knelt in a row.

Empress Feng's unprecedented arrogance—a just right amount of arrogance in line with her identity—is really a model of motherhood.

She did put in the effort, invited many ministers of etiquette, and did all the details well, impeccable.

Some of the wall grasses had gone to talk to Feng Zhaoyi earlier, but now when they saw that something was wrong, they immediately turned to - or the queen is the king.

A concubine is a concubine after all.

The laws of ancient China had much more protection for the wife.

The concubine has no rivalry.

Empress Feng is particularly eye-catching.

Tuoba Hong also knelt down and saluted the incense.

reminisced about the affairs of the Queen Mother's life, but felt sad in her heart. At that time, how old was you? Five-year-old? Six? The Queen Mother and her father had a conflict, almost to the point of life and death, and they didn't see each other for a long time.

And himself, because he was jealous that Prince Rui was favored by his father, and because he was afraid of losing his father's love, the Queen Mother squatted down and carried herself - let herself ride a horse!

That's something he'll never forget. Even though many stories and details of his childhood have disappeared with the passage of time, this scene, he thought, will not be forgotten until he dies-

is just like his doubts back then: Obviously it is the father and the queen mother, why do they not reconcile for a long time and do not speak?

Why is his father so eager to reconcile with the Queen Mother, but why is he always hiding in Xuanwu Palace, preferring to be close to Mi Guifei and others than to interact with the Queen Mother?

Why is that?

Why do people who love each other always torture each other?

is like the woman that the Queen Mother chose for herself - Miao Lian!

Perhaps, the Queen Mother will wonder, why did Miao Lian preside over the sacrifice for so many years, but now she doesn't show up?

Is it that she doesn't come by herself?

Or did someone else not let her come?

He knelt for a long time as he saluted, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After the ceremony, Empress Feng came to his side and comforted him gently: "Your Majesty, please get up, your filial piety is enough to move the heavens and the earth......"

"Let's go, I want to be alone."

He was kind to Yan Yuese, but he still knelt, only letting them go first, and he wanted to stay for a while.

Your Majesty's benevolence and filial piety are known to the world.

Empress Feng didn't dare to persuade again, and left happily.

This time, she was in the limelight, knowing that the impression points that were deducted by the little prince last time were back.

It's a bit fluttery along the way.

All of them were sent away, even Yega. The altar of Nuoda seemed empty and unusually deserted. A gust of wind came, and the smiling eyes of the woman in the portrait seemed to be looking at him, full of warmth and pity, as if she could make a sound: "Hong'er...... Hong'er ......"

Before he was six years old, he enjoyed all her pampering, even pampering, and at that time, she was an ordinary mother. It was not until after the age of six that he ascended to the throne. Since then, she is no longer a mother - she is the world-famous Empress Dowager Feng.

She is decisive and resolute, even "ruthless".

Political enemies are like clouds, women are not ruthless, and their status is unstable.

Even if she treated the emperor's son, she never relaxed. At the critical moment, he even dared to lock him up in a dark room.

Why is she like this?

Really for the rights??

If it's just for power, why give everything to him at her peak and do her best?

There is some love that you will not understand until the fact.

The secret resentment and confrontation that she had had suddenly vanished at this moment, and only love remained—the love she gave herself. It was she who paved the way for herself, and it was she who was more far-sighted than any mother.

Because of her, he was invincible all his life.

Compared with spoiling children infinitely, making children become parasites and losing the ability to make a living, isn't it a deeper and stronger pampering?

He said to himself: "Queen Mother, what do you say I should do? ”

She was still looking at him quietly from the portrait.

There is another portrait, a self-portrait of her when she was young, her eyes are so big, so bright, staring at it for a long time, it makes people's hearts pound.

In this world, there is no one who can give him advice.

Even if he is full of poetry and books, familiar with historical records and Han books, the wisdom of countless predecessors can teach us how to govern the country and level the world with one family, but no matter how great a sage or a great talent, even the Buddha has no way to tell us: how to make the people you love love you too!

How can I ???

The dusk looks very bleak, the sunset of the day has gone down, spring, summer, the surrounding grass is green, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and the peony of Luoyang is the best in the world.

Peony flowers in full bloom are everywhere.

Some of the varieties that bloom stubbornly bloom in the summer.

Tuoba Hong walked out, and a person stood under a tall peony tree. The flowers and trees are luxuriant, the flowers are in full bloom, they are huge, the fragrance is overflowing, and the crown is fragrant. And the person standing under the flower tree, gray robe, windless automatic, awe-inspiring has an outstanding temperament.

Even though Tuoba Hong has read countless people, he has to sigh secretly, Ye Jia is such a person, with style and bearing, he is really the first person he has seen in his life.

"Your Majesty, why didn't Miao Lian participate in today's sacrifice?"

Tuoba Hong had thought about it a thousand times—like an angry suspicion that he didn't dare to determine in his heart. If Ye Jia dodged, if Ye Jia pretended not to know anything—but, he did not expect Ye Jia to ask so frankly.

Instead, he froze, not knowing how to answer.

Ye Jia sighed, his expression was very gloomy.

Who knows the pain in my heart?

After a long time, Tuoba Hong spoke gently, "Ye Jia, you don't have to worry. Miao Lian was just unwell. She has never had children, so she has always been depressed, and once she is stimulated, she will get sick......"

Ye Jia was stunned.

At the beginning, he only thought about curing Miaolian's hematemesis, as long as her body healed, but he didn't expect the child to be on this layer at all. And Miao Lian never mentioned it.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, can this disease be cured?" ”

"Yes. A few days ago, a famous doctor was invited to the uterus, he is a descendant of Hua Tuo, focusing on this kind of disease, it is said that it is very effective, as long as you insist on taking medicine, Miao Lian will be cured. ”

The so-called healing is to give birth to children for the emperor?

Ye Jia didn't ask any more.
