Chapter 17: The Story of Empress Hyo Kang Moon

It is also a coincidence that outside the gate of the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, Xiang Ding met Qi Sanya, who had just come out of the Empress Dowager's Palace.

When he saw the emperor, he immediately saluted: "The concubine visits the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." ”

"Excuse me, flat." After seeing that it was Qi Guiren who fainted to the ground last time, out of her filial piety to the Queen Mother, Xiang Ding couldn't help but look at her twice.

Qi Sanya changed her fragrant dress in the past, lightly applied powder, and her lips were thin and shiny. There is a circle of colorful beads around the hair, and only a pink emerald is dotted in the middle, which is delicate and beautiful, a touch of beauty, burning and attractive. Compared with the group of children who were upside down and crooked, Qi Sanya was especially generous, dignified and elegant.

"Long live the lord, it's time to go in, the queen mother is waiting." Wang Zhiwen reminded Xiang Ding, who was distracted.

When the emperor entered Cining Palace, Yunyan stabbed Qi Sanya, who was also stunned, and said in a brisk tone: "Your lord, the emperor has been staring at you for a long time." Master, you are almost faceless, and the emperor looks at you with admiration sooner or later. "The son greets the queen mother."

Xiang Ding saluted the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Shen held a delicate and chic small sachet in her hand, and said with a smile: "Emperor, this is a sachet for the prevention of cold and flu, smell it, treat headache and brain fever, and have the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. As he spoke, he handed the sachet to the emperor.

Put it under the nostrils, and the smell of herbs goes straight to the heart.

Xiang Ding smiled and said nothing.

"Emperor, there is a sentence that mourns the family and doesn't know whether to say it or not?" Empress Dowager Shen couldn't bear it.

"It doesn't hurt for the queen mother to speak." Xiang Ding said respectfully.

"In the harem of the new palace, the nobles are old, and now they are nineteen years old, and their bodies are mature and rhyme. The mourning family observed for a while, and the nobleman was gentle and gentle. The emperor guarded only the empress...... The harem can give birth to a son and a half daughter, and the mourning family will be satisfied. Empress Dowager Shen said.

"The queen mother's lesson is to remember." Xiang Ding accompanied the smiling face.

"These days, the mourning family is bored and panicked, but fortunately, there is a noble child, who is intimate and sensible, and often comes to the mourning family to chat and have fun with the mourning family. The other five, who were young, couldn't talk to the mourning family. Empress Dowager Shen continued to speak well for Qi nobles.

"Erchen has been busy with government affairs recently, and he has neglected his mother." Xiang Ding said apologetically.

"The queen has arrived—" The voice of the palace man announced loudly.

Empress Ming humbly and politely saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and sat beside the queen mother after the ceremony.

Twisting a large string of beads of fragrant wood in the south, the Empress Dowager Shen raised her eyebrows: "When the Empress Dowager was the Empress Dowager, in her palace, every day the harem concubines, princes and grandsons went to her to ask for peace, and people came and went, so it was not lively. The mourning family is the queen mother, and the Cining Palace is deserted and there is no voice. Thinking of the heat in the palace of the Empress Dowager in the past, the mourning family only sighed, and the mourning family had no blessings......"

Empress Dowager Shen said in the end, her tone was aggravated.

"Erchen understands that it is all Erchen's fault." Xiang Ding lowered his head, "It's the sons who are not filial." ”

Regarding the queen mother's mood of teasing her grandson, the emperor can only compensate the queen mother.

The words on the side made Queen Ming feel uneasy and extremely embarrassed. The Queen Mother indirectly reminded her, blamed her, or admonished her......

She, Queen Ming is not a jealous person, but she and the emperor have been in love with each other since their wedding. On the night Xiang Ding ascended the throne, he whispered to her: There is no concubine in the sixth palace, from his beginning.

The emperor's idea is not to let future generations sing praises to him, but the natural and willing love between the emperor and the queen. Xiang Ding and Mingzhu's wish: a lifetime of two dependence, four seasons of the year.

Every time he went down to the court and dealt with political affairs, the emperor would quickly return to the middle palace. If you find that the queen is not there, immediately ask "what about the queen". And when it is time for the emperor to come, the emperor will come in the future, and the queen will blurt out "the emperor".

Walking into reality, the wishes of the two quickly disappeared. The queen mother couldn't climb this hurdle, and then the ministers were noisy in their ears all day long, and the emperor had to draft against his will. Now the emperor has snubbed the little show girls who have just entered the palace, and the people in the entire palace have openly and secretly accused Queen Ming of being the only pet in the pepper room and getting wet with rain and dew.

"Empress, do you know the story of Empress Xiaokangwen of Emperor Chu Xiao?" Empress Dowager Shen's tone was light, but she looked at Empress Ming with her eyes like a torch.

"Yes, Queen Mother, the sons know." Empress Ming replied in a whisper.

Emperor Chu Xiao, the sixteenth emperor of the Chu State, favored the queen, resulting in poor heirs. Empress Xiaokangwen gave birth to three sons, and only the eldest son, Emperor Wu of Chu, survived. When Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, he died young in less than five years, leaving the young prince Emperor Di. Xiao Kangwen supported the young lord to ascend the throne, hung the curtain and listened to the government, and eight months later, the emperor died. Emperor Chu Xiao has no successor.

Empress Dowager Xiaokangwen had to choose a sixteen-year-old nephew from the side branch of the royal family to succeed him, who was the famous Emperor Jian of Chu in the history of Chu State.

At the beginning of Emperor Jian's succession, he used Taoguang to raise obscurity, and asked the Empress Dowager Xiaokangwen to show filial piety sooner or later, creating the illusion of gratitude to Dade. When he gained a firm foothold and the imperial power was in his hands, despite the fierce opposition of the ministers, he posthumously crowned his biological father as the imperial examination, and at the same time took his biological mother into the palace and insisted on being the queen mother. And the Emperor Xiao of Chu was demoted to the emperor's uncle, and the Empress Dowager Xiaokangwen was demoted to the emperor's aunt.

After another two years, the iron-armed Emperor Jian of Chu wanted to kill Xiao Kangwen's two brothers in the name of rebellion, Xiao Kangwen disregarded the dignity of the former queen, wept bitterly and knelt in front of Emperor Jian, pleading for his brother to avoid death. Because of Xiao Kangwen's support at the beginning, Emperor Jian agreed to Xiao Kangwen's request on the surface, but behind the scenes, he forced her two brothers to commit suicide, which was equivalent to cutting off Xiao Kangwen's hands and feet in the palace and a group of forces that supported Xiao Kangwen. Since then, when Emperor Xiao of Chu was the emperor, Empress Xiaokangwen, who was favored and extremely happy, burst into tears all day long, full of regret, depressed, and died soon in desolation.

"It's good to remember, it's good to remember. The mourning family is tired, please go back. Empress Dowager Shen's tone was blunt, and she obviously gave an eviction order.
