Chapter 125: Squire Ouyang

"The Queen Mother laughed, you are the first beauty appointed by the first emperor, the first emperor is rare and it's too late, how can you dislike it." Duanxia looked at the face of the Queen Mother, after so many years, the Queen Mother now remembered that the first emperor had always been sad and painful.

At that time, people only knew that the first emperor was gentle, and he really achieved a bowl of water for everyone in the harem, and of course the sisters in the harem also reciprocated with harmony in the palace. But the palace wall is thousands of feet, and a dark iron gate blocks all grievances, loves, and hates in the small palace, and everyone doesn't know that the person Qing Haoxuan loves is never in the palace.

Qing Haoxuan fell in love with his own maid. I've followed myself since I was a child.,A maid who intervenes in everything.。 Qing Haoxuan is different from Qing Ruifan, he is not the crown prince who was appointed from the beginning, and the power of his mother's family is not enough for him to develop and cultivate his own power, so many times he can only rely on himself. The maid was always by his side, no matter what happened.

But a lot of companionship is the same, it can be the same hardship, not the same wealth. The maid's ambition was exposed at the peak of Qing Haoxuan's heyday. Raising men, swaying the government, and coercing the emperor, each and every one can be dragged out for several days.

Men are not the only ones in the world who change their minds because of power, and women are the same. Qing Haoxuan didn't want to believe it at first, just turned a blind eye, but then it was too much. The man she raised by herself ran to Yongyuan Hall openly to be an official with Qing Haoxuan.

At that time, Qing Haoxuan's face was so angry that his face turned pale, so he called the guards to suppress the person, and then asked the maid to testify. The maid smiled with a delicate and happy face, as warm as the sun every time he comforted him every time his face darkened: "Can't you?" ”

The contemptuous tone made Qing Haoxuan's rational authority collapse, looking at her smiling face, she directly issued a holy decree to expel the two of them from the palace, and they were never allowed to step into Lin'an for eternity. After listening to the will, the maid began to scold, with her hands on her waist, just like the small people in the market outside, her voice was mixed, and her face was mixed with tears and smiles, which made Qing Haoxuan even more disgusted.

"You remember, I don't want you anymore, you didn't tell me to get out." Later, the maid was also tired of scolding, and in the end she only left this sentence, and then bumped into the guard and forcibly took her man away - she didn't even return her head, and her back was so resolute.

The next day, the maid really packed up all the finesse and went to the internal superintendent to get her money and severance pay. The supervisor at that time did not agree, so the maid repaired a book and asked the supervisor to send someone to Qing Haoxuan. It clearly lists the various expenses that Qing Haoxuan owes to the maid for so many years, and even more, he also said that his own years are a lot of money. But Qing Haoxuan still stamped his own seal after reading it, even if his hands were shaking, he still covered it.

Although the maid in Qing Haoxuan's eyes has always been lively, she will never be like a shrew. Maybe I've spoiled her for so many years, and she dares to do anything. Qing Haoxuan didn't know what was wrong with him, and happily accepted that it was not his mother's concubine who proposed to marry him as his queen.

The wedding ceremony was very beautiful, and the whole Han and Qin countries celebrated, and they were drunk and dreamed of death for three days and three nights. Qing Haoxuan has been living in Fenglan Palace since he was sealed, saying that the emperor and queen are deeply in love, and they have not been out of the early dynasty for three days, and they have not done any work for three days. Everyone at that time said that the queen was the luckiest woman in the world.

At that time, the Queen Mother was just a child. Although she is said to be in a high gate, her parents only gave birth to her, so naturally everything is up to her. The first time Qing Haoxuan saw her, he said that she was a beauty, and when he lifted the red hijab, both of them were shocked, and then he really couldn't help but praise that this is the most beautiful person in the world.

At that time, the Queen Mother didn't understand anything, just looked at the person next to her pillow with a shy face. also had a happy life for a while, but later there were more and more things in the palace, and Qing Haoxuan came less and less, and slowly the two of them slowly returned to normal.

Qing Haoxuan was very good to her, but she was very good to everyone who entered her harem at the beginning, and the Queen Mother didn't feel the difference at all, so she slowly distracted.

But the Queen Mother is the kind of person with a very strong temperament, and many things must come according to her own thoughts, otherwise she will find an opportunity to retaliate back. There are very few places where Qing Haoxuan is sorry for her, but the harem has always been a place where people kill people without seeing blood, and the average division of kings makes the open and secret battles in the palace more fierce.

The Queen Mother began to get tired of it, and began to use iron-fisted methods, everything was in order, but it was always a strict punishment, and the people who could survive under her nose were all the same, and Concubine Zhao was no exception.

Qing Haoxuan had already made an edict very early, stipulating that all the concubines in his harem must accompany him into the imperial mausoleum, regardless of their life or death. In the funeral system of the Han and Qin dynasties, it was not mandatory to stipulate whether the concubine must accompany the funeral. Except for those who have children who do not need to be buried together, as long as the emperor allows every concubine to be exempted.

Qing Haoxuan's edict was the most unkind decision he had made over the years, but he had never given an explanation. Even about the maid, I only heard him say it when Qing Haoxuan died not long after. When a man is about to die, his words are good. Even if the Queen Mother was angry again, she didn't say anything.

But Qing Haoxuan didn't know, the Queen Mother's eyes and ears were all over Lin'an, and I didn't know, in Lin'an City, the former site of Yunhu Hall was a decent three-in, three-out courtyard, and an old woman lived in the courtyard. No one knows how old her mother-in-law is, but her silver hair makes it impossible to find out her actual age, and the old man is withdrawn, never goes out of the yard, and eats very simply. The daily routine of three meals a day is steamed bread, and many times there is not even gruel.

When Yunhutang chose the site, he said that he wanted to build it here, and after discussing it with his mother-in-law, his mother-in-law agreed, but it was the same as the three chapters of the law: she can't be allowed to leave here, she can't be treated, and she can't interfere with what she wants to do.

It's not too difficult to do, and naturally no one is against it. But when I did it later, I realized that it was really difficult. It is said that it is the benevolence of the doctor, and the mother-in-law eats steamed buns every day, or the kind of steamed buns that have been dried, and every day she is also prescribed to sit on the steps of the courtyard and cloister to eat, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, her eyes are full of some indescribable memories.

Everyone is old and full of stories. Chang'an was the original shopkeeper of Yunhu Hall, and at that time, he looked at his mother-in-law and wanted to help her, but he was pushed back by his mother-in-law's three chapters of the law. My mother-in-law should have been a very powerful person when she was young. At that time, Yunhutang had just gained a foothold, and there was no foundation, and it was common to be bullied, but as long as the mother-in-law stood at the door, no one would ever come to make trouble or anything like that.

The mother-in-law is in good spirits, and she lazily embroiders something in the courtyard every day, but she never sees the finished product. The rent given by Yunhutang is also a lot, but the mother-in-law has made up her mind, and three meals a day are really just steamed buns, which are not delicious at all, not to mention that it hurts the stomach. Everyone looked distressed, but no one dared to persuade them.

When Qing Haoxuan died, the news of the state funeral spread all over the country. The herald called the guards to beat gongs and drums along the street, and the government began to distribute filial piety cloths and scarves, but the mother-in-law did not go to get them, but was alone in the courtyard drumming something. In the middle of the night, Chang'an was called in.

The mother-in-law looked at Chang'an, and asked him with a very serious face what he thought of Qing Haoxuan's ruling career. Chang An thought about it carefully, and then said a few words in general. Qing Haoxuan has reigned for so many years, and he can be regarded as an outstanding emperor, and he has made achievements both externally and internally.

"yes, that's fine." The mother-in-law's cloudy eyes suddenly had a glow, and the corners of her mouth began to curvature. Chang'an was curious, and then heard her mother-in-law start singing, she had already been hoarse for I don't know how many years of singing mourning songs with a strange vicissitudes, and the lyrics were sad and miserable: "The king is dignified and returns to the emperor's hometown, and the world is thin and long. ”

The mother-in-law smiled extremely beautifully at that time, her white hair was pulled up, and her makeup and hair stopped. But Chang'an didn't know that the age of this so-called mother-in-law and Qing Haoxuan was not many years apart, at most, even if she was a lady, she would never be a mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law was very beautiful when she died, at least when Chang'an found out, the mother-in-law was dressed like a girl, although it was goosebumps, but it was also another charm. Although her mother-in-law did not explain what she would do after she died, Chang'an still wanted to be buried in peace.

When packing up his mother-in-law's belongings, Chang'an saw the only object that could be regarded as identifying: a jade flute of the internal affairs supervisor, with a few clear words on it. There was a letter under the pillow of the mother-in-law's bed, on which there was only a short sentence: The emperor is well, you must forget.

Chang'an has been able to connect the general plot, and can also understand why her mother-in-law chose to dress up and die. But when he collected his mother-in-law's body, he didn't choose to bury her, because he didn't know where to bury it. In the end, I used the bone-melting water in the store. Put the "mother-in-law", who has been so thin that only the skeleton remains, on the green space on the outskirts of the city, and then gently open the porcelain bottle, and after half an hour, there is nothing on the grass. The black night hides all the emotions, as well as the past.

Chang'an doesn't remember much about that time, but now this secret is just in his heart. He never said that to anyone.

The years are green and white, and love and hate will eventually fall into the ground.

Fenglan Palace.

"I don't know why I summoned my mother?" When Ouyang came in at the order, Gu Lingge was not in the hall. Li Xia wore a splendid dress and looked at Ouyang with a dark face.

"Let me ask you, are you willing to sell your life to Fenglan Palace?" Lixia's palm-sized little face was full of calmness, and wisdom began to exist in his eyes, showing absolute majesty and pressure, not inferior to those Zhenggong Niangniang at all.
