As soon as Empress Dowager Yun heard Wen Yuan mention that Zhao scholar, her face sank.

Regarding Zhao Xiuming, both the master and the servant had some unspeakable thoughts.

Wen Yuan is very open-minded, Zhao Xiuming is kind to her, she appreciates the other party's knowledge, style, and admiration for the other party's character and virtue, so even if 20 years have passed, she is still grateful and longing.

But Empress Dowager Yun is different.

Her life has always been smooth, that is, she has to fight with so many concubines when she enters the palace, but she has never fallen behind.

Even Queen Du at the beginning had to avoid her edge.

Only this Zhao Xiuming is the biggest stumbling block in her life.

No one in Shangjing knew that before Empress Dowager Yun entered the palace when she was young, she also secretly liked someone.

The man didn't say what the literati style was, what the family background was, just that smiling and clear face made her think about it for a long time.

Empress Dowager Yun has never shied away from the fact that she likes beautiful men, but her liking for Zhao Xiuming at that time was not as superficial as it is now. She secretly admired the man, and the more she knew, the more difficult it became.

It's just that before the emotions of her youth were spoken, she received the will to enter the palace as a concubine.

Empress Dowager Yun has been arrogant since she was a child, and she never knows what disobedience and disobedience are, she only knows that in life, you must obey your heart when you do things.

She followed her heart to find Zhao Xiuming and clearly told the other party that she liked him. If Zhao Xiuming is willing, she can give up everything and follow Zhao Xiuming.

At that time, Zhao Xiuming was still very young, and probably didn't expect such a straightforward girl, but after being stunned, he refused with a slight red face.

He was young, but he was not unconscious.

A girl who is about to enter the palace as a concubine, how can she be involved with him?

What's more, the two of them are only meeting for the first time now, and they can't even say that they know each other, so how can they talk about it?

Zhao Xiuming's refusal shattered Empress Dowager Yun's self-esteem, and she tasted frustration for the first time.

I thought that this person was just unenlightened, but who knew that she had just entered the palace for a month, and she heard that she had won the fame and made a marriage contract with her Qingmei.

An unknown woman.

The daughter of a seven-rank petty official, except for a face, there is nothing to brilliant.

But after they got married, they undoubtedly fell in love, and the old lady of the Zhao family was not dissatisfied with this low-born daughter-in-law, but praised the eldest daughter-in-law everywhere in the Beijing circle.

Later, only one of them did not even light incense, and no one ever said that the woman was not.

How could Empress Dowager Yun not be resentful, and how could she not be jealous.

But what she never expected was that Zhao Xiuming, who later became a stumbling block for her again.

As for the crown prince in the palace, he is the most staunch princeling. Even if the crown prince died, he would not change his original intention to support the prince's younger brother Seventh Prince.

The three princes under the knees of Empress Dowager Yun have never entered his eyes.

Even before he died, he also carried his hands behind, with a body of arrogance and scars, looked at her and said: "The third prince has mutilated his siblings, is unkind and unjust, how can such a virtuous person be a king?" ”

Although he died, he never changed his will.

Such a person is like a thorn rooted in her heart, which cannot be pulled out or digested, and will always ache faintly in her body......

Empress Dowager Yun didn't think about the past for a long time.

Now when I mention that person again, I only feel that my head hurts again.

She waved her hand at the little palace maid irritably, and after sending the person out, she said with a cold face: "In the future, I will not mention him in front of the mourning family, I have been dead for so many years, and I am still restless." ”

After the ridicule, Empress Dowager Yun squinted at Wen Yuan again, and said: "You always say that Zhao Xiuming is kind to you, but young Mu Ai, such an outstanding man, do you only have gratitude, and have never been tempted?" ”
