Chapter 329: The Rise of the Prince (8)
It would be perfect if he could ascend the throne smoothly.
Empress Wu Yashi left Concubine Rui's funeral and ignored it, and waited for Concubine Xiao to go to the palace where the emperor died.
All the way from the path, the queen Wu Yashi felt very strange.
Is there such a place in the palace?
She had never walked this road before, and she had never seen this palace in front of her.
Concubine Xiao felt the same way as her. Although she has lived in the palace for more than twenty years, she has never been here and has never seen this palace.
The palace looks old, dilapidated, and seems to be a relic of the previous dynasty.
The queen asked Concubine Xiao, "Do you know this place?" How could the emperor come to such a place......"
Concubine Xiao shook her head, "I don't know either." Our emperor has been really in love with a lot of strange things lately......"
Of course, Concubine Xiao meant something, but at this moment, Queen Wu Yashi didn't have the heart to think about that. She just wanted to know what kind of place this was, and why the emperor died here.
Called Father-in-law Wei and asked, "Father-in-law Wei, do you know what is going on here?" ”
Gonggong Wei's eyes rolled and replied, "The old slave knows a little bit. ”
"Then let's talk about it."
"Yes, Queen." Gonggong Wei pointed to this palace and said: "This palace is called the Beauty Palace, and it is the residence of a concubine given by the emperor of the previous dynasty. I heard that the concubine used to be the palace maid next to the queen, and her status was very low. On weekdays, I can only do some rough work of pulping and washing, and under normal circumstances, I don't have the opportunity to climb the elegant hall at all. But when the emperor and the queen had lunch together, the palace maid in charge of serving food in the queen's palace suddenly felt unwell and could not be responsible for serving tea, so the palace maid temporarily came up with a way to bring this palace maid who could only wash clothes on weekdays, and asked her to take charge of this work for herself temporarily. The maid of the pulp wash readily accepted it, her heart was not bad, and everyone was a low-level slave with a hard life, so it was common for them to help each other.
So she took the plate and followed the team to bring the delicacies prepared in the small kitchen to the emperor.
The first emperor looked at this plate of fried wild vegetables and was very curious.
He asked the Empress, "What is this?" It's the first time I've seen it. ”
The queen smiled slightly and said gently: "The emperor doesn't know, this is a wild vegetable dug from the mountain, and eating it is of great benefit to the body." ”
"Oh, really?"
The emperor, who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, was naturally full of interest in this ordinary stir-fried wild vegetables.
Just like the little palace maid standing in front of her, she was so inconspicuous, so timid and thin.
She is different from all the concubines in her harem, she is like this plate of wild vegetables, she is so difficult to get into the elegant hall, but so unique.
"Your Majesty, this dish is not only nutritious, but also particularly delicious. You can taste it. As she spoke, the queen picked up a handful of wild vegetables and put them in the emperor's bowl.
Xian Dile accepted it, and he put the wild vegetables in his mouth and chewed them carefully.
Well, it tastes extraordinary.
He fell in love with this unique taste at once, it was so special, it was delicious.
The first emperor ate with relish, and he also had a strong interest in the little palace maid in front of him.
The freckles on the little palace maid's face that had not yet faded made him like it more and more.
People are like this, they are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they want to eat some grassroots and wild vegetables to change their taste. I am used to seeing the reserved and beautiful eunuchs, so I like to try the little girl in the simple countryside.
So after such a short lunch, the first emperor fell in love with the little palace maid who served them with tea and water all the time.
After the first emperor left, the little palace maid was naturally severely punished.
The queen didn't know this little palace maid, why did she appear among the lunch attendants this time?
Where does a little palace maid who is immersed in laundry all day have the opportunity to let the queen know herself.
In the face of today's sudden appreciation and love, her little heart began to change.
After she was punished by the queen with thirty boards, she took out all her savings and asked a little eunuch to throw a hairpin on her head in front of the Taihe Palace.
She's gambling on her future.
Bet on whether the first emperor will see this su hairpin, and also bet on whether the first emperor can think of himself again.
The next day.
The eunuch beside the first emperor came to pick her up in the laundry room.
She was lucky.
The first emperor not only happened to see this hairpin, but also remembered very clearly that it was this hairpin that was worn by a little palace maid who looked like a wild vegetable at lunch yesterday.
The emperor, who has always been extremely superstitious, thought that this was an arrangement from heaven, and that God was hinting that he must include this palace maid in his harem.
So he didn't think about what the queen would think at all, and directly sent his father-in-law to pick up people.
This pick-up is not simply to bring a little palace maid who washes clothes to his side, but directly takes her into a palace specially prepared for her.
Although the concubine has not been crowned for the time being, the treatment of this exclusive entire palace can already catch up with the extremely favored concubines around the emperor.
That night, the first emperor favored the little palace maid.
From then on, the first emperor would come here every once in a while to have fun with the little palace maid.
And the little palace maid will also prepare delicious and delicious field dishes from her hometown for the first emperor.
The first emperor ate these small dishes and listened to the country tunes hummed from the mouth of the little palace maid, which was really pleasant.
The two of them live a simple and happy life like this, which is really unhappy.
However, the good times did not last long, and the queen soon brought people to sweep the place.
even directly forced the little palace maid to death.
The queen is determined to get rid of this little prodigal hoof, so she is not afraid of being severely punished by the first emperor at all.
But she was very fortunate that not long after this incident, the first emperor fell seriously ill, and then he died within a few days.
So the queen was not punished at all, she just spent a few frightened nights. Then he was calm and happily welcomed his son to the throne and became the current Emperor Zhao.
And she was automatically promoted to the queen mother and took a back seat.
As for this palace, it was also sealed. ”
After listening to all this told by Gonggong Wei, Queen Wu Yashi was full of emotion in her heart.
Emperor Zhao really inherited and inherited his father's lustful characteristics, and even his interests and hobbies were the same.
actually likes to provoke the little palace maids of the concubines, and she also ran to this kind of place with ingenuity to be chic, and finally died.
"Ugh." Empress Wu Yashi sighed, she shook her head, simply disappointed in her husband.
"Forget it, no matter what the situation is, let's go and see first. Grandpa Wei, let's go, let's go in. ”
"Yes, Queen."
