Before the Huns came to the capital, there was a major event in the palace, that is, the queen's mother.

This year is Empress Xie's thirty-three-year-old Qianqiu, and she has been looking forward to this day, after all, thirty-three years old is a very important age for a woman. According to her own intentions, she wanted to do a big thing, but the Huns were going to come to Da Zhou, and she could only rest her thoughts.

Empress Xie sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her face in the mirror. She suddenly noticed wrinkles at the end of her eyes, and a look of horror and panic on her face.

"Jiang Chuan, do you see if there are wrinkles in the corners of the eyes of this palace?"

Jiang Chuan lowered his head and looked carefully at the corners of Empress Xie's eyes, and found that there were indeed one or two wrinkles. Of course, she can't tell the truth.

"Niangniang, it should be that you slept on your side last night, and you slept so much that the corners of your eyes were wrinkled."

Empress Xie's entire face was about to be attached to the bronze mirror. She looked nervous and asked, "Is it really a wrinkle?" ”

"Mother, you relax, it's really a wrinkle. After two days, the wrinkles on the corners of your eyes will definitely disappear. Jiang Chuan comforted the queen and said, "The slave will go and get the eggs for you to roll." ”

"Go get it." Empress Xie said hurriedly.

After a while, Jiang Chuan took a freshly boiled egg and rolled it softly in the corner of Empress Xie's eyes.

Empress Xie was still not at ease in her heart. She hurriedly said to Jiang Chuan: "You go and get some Zihe cars, from tomorrow, the palace will eat Zihe cars." ”

"Yes, sissy."

"Wait," Empress Xie called Jiang Chuan, "This palace remembers that the deer fetus is also a blood nourishment and beauty thing, so you can also prepare some." ”

"Niangniang, you can just eat Zihe car, you don't need to eat deer fetuses." Jiang Chuan felt that it was not good to eat deer fetus.

"You know what, the deer fetus is a great tonic, and it must be right to eat it."

Seeing that Queen Xie insisted, Jiang Chuan didn't dare to persuade anymore.

"Yes, sissy."

Empress Xie waved her hand at Jiang Chuan. She took out a small bronze mirror from her makeup and kept staring at the corner of her eye. The more she looked, the more upset she became, and she angrily put down the mirror.

Thinking that anger would cause wrinkles, Empress Xie took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down and not grow wrinkles anymore.

After a while, Jiang Chuan came back from outside and said respectfully to Queen Xie: "Niangniang, I have already ordered to go down." It will be delivered tomorrow, and the slave will let the small kitchen stew you to drink. ”

"Stew and drink with the blood swallows." Empress Xie explained, "Blood Swallow is also an excellent tonic, and it is stewed and drunk with Zihe Che. ”

"It's still thoughtful."

"You ask the family to send the blood swallow in, the blood swallow at home is the best." Empress Xie showed a disgusted expression on her face, "The blood swallows in the palace are not as good as those at home. Besides, if you keep eating the blood swallows in the palace, it won't be good for the emperor to know. "The emperor advocated frugality and hated extravagance, and he did not approve of eating such a precious tonic as blood swallow. If the emperor knew that Empress Xie ate blood swallows every day, he would definitely think that Empress Xie was a extravagant person.

Speaking of frugality, Queen Xie felt a little aggrieved in her heart. She was born in the Zhenguo Mansion and has been clothed and fed since she was a child. Whether it is food or clothing, it is excellent, and it is also extremely expensive. Before she entered the palace, she had been living a luxurious life at home, but after entering the palace, she, as the queen, had to lead by example and advocate frugality.

Over the years, she didn't dare to wear too luxurious clothes or eat anything too expensive. She was aggrieved and unwilling, but she didn't dare to say it.

"That lady, do you want to eat Ziheche to eat?" Jiang Chuan asked.

Empress Xie glared at Jiang Chuan, and said angrily: "Naturally, I want to hide it, and it's hard to eat it by beating gongs and drums." ”

Jiang Chuan hurriedly pleaded for sin: "Niangniang forgives her sins, but the slave is stupid." ”

"Do you think there are any wrinkles on the face of that slut of Concubine Rong?" Empress Xie asked suddenly.

Jiang Chuan was stunned when asked, with a blank look on his face.

"Concubine Rong, that slut is several years older than this palace, and she must have wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and face." Empress Xie was the second youngest concubine among all the emperor's concubines, and the first young concubine was Concubine Ying. "You see she usually rubbed her face with rouge gouache, definitely to cover up the wrinkles on her face and the corners of her eyes."

"Mother, you say that, it's true." Jiang Chuan echoed Empress Xie's words, "No wonder Concubine Rong wiped her face as white as white paper, it turned out to cover up the wrinkles on her face. ”

"Have you noticed that Concubine Rong's slut has aged a lot since this year." Empress Xie showed a mocking smile on her face, "You see that the makeup she is painting now is becoming more and more glamorous, no, more and more vulgar, in order to cover the old-fashioned style on her face." ”

"Niangniang is right, Concubine Rong is becoming more and more vulgar, just like a woman in the dust."

Empress Xie pointed at Jiang Chuan and said with a smile on her face: "Yes, what you said is so right, Concubine Rong's slut is just like a woman in the dust." ”

"Niangniang, don't compare Concubine Rong with you, bad luck."

"You're right, this palace is younger than Concubine Rong's slut." Originally, Empress Xie was annoyed by the presence of one or two wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but when she thought that Concubine Rong was older than her, her bad mood immediately improved.

"Niangniang, what are you going to do with Qianqiu?" Jiang Chuan asked, "Are you really not going to make a big deal?" ”

"It's not a whole year's birthday, so there's no need to make a big deal. Besides, the Huns are about to come to the Great Zhou, and the palace will make a big move at this time, which will definitely make the emperor unhappy. ”

"Niangniang, if you don't do it much, then do it small." Jiang Chuan said, "Niangniang, you can't help it." ”

"Just do it." Empress Xie explained again and again, "Everything is simple. ”

"Mother, how easy is that?" Jiang Chuan felt aggrieved for Queen Xie in his heart, "You are the queen's mother, your Qianqiu can't be too simple." ”

Empress Xie didn't want to do it too simply, but ...... She thought for a moment and said, "Don't do it this year." ”

"Ah, no more?" Jiang Chuan asked in disbelief, "Niangniang, you really don't do your Qianqiu?" ”

"Don't do it, tell it to go down, this year's palace will not be done."

"Mother, why is that?" Jiang Chuan asked in disbelief.

Empress Xie smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "The emperor is worried about the Huns, this palace is passing a thousand years at this time, isn't it adding chaos to the emperor." Besides, the emperor is not in the mood to give the palace a thousand years, so he can't do it, so he can still please the emperor, isn't it? ”

"It's still thoughtful." Jiang Chuan said, "You are not a thousand years old at this time, the emperor will definitely praise you for your virtue, and the emperor will feel wronged by you." After the Huns leave, the emperor will definitely compensate you. ”

Empress Xie smiled and said, "This is the idea that this palace played. ”

"It's still a wise mother." Jiang Chuan patted his ass and said, "The slave admires." ”

Empress Xie was coaxed by Jiang Chuan to smile: "Just your sweet mouth, serve the palace for breakfast." ”

"Yes, Queen."

After Queen Xie finished breakfast, King Jing came down to greet her.

Empress Xie hurriedly asked King Jing what happened to the early dynasty. King Jing didn't have anything important, he was talking about the upcoming events of the Huns.

"This time the Huns came to Da Zhou, they must not be good, and they will definitely provoke Da Zhou at that time, you must behave well then."

King Jing said with disgust: "The Huns are a group of barbarians, they can only dance knives and guns, so I don't bother to deal with them." King Jing said this, but in fact, he knew in his heart that he was not the opponent of the Huns at all.

"Also, they don't compare poetry and poetry with us."

King Jing said: "If the Huns compare poetry and songs with us, I will look up to them. ”

"In that case, when the Huns arrive, you should stay away." Empress Xie also knew in her heart that her son was in general in riding and archery and martial arts, and if he wanted to fight with the Huns, he would definitely not be the opponent of the Huns, and he would not only be embarrassed by then, but also embarrassed by Da Zhou.

"I'm definitely not going to be involved in this." After King Jing finished talking about the early dynasty, he asked about Empress Xie Qianqiu.

Empress Xie said that she was not going to do it this year, and King Jing agreed with her after hearing this.

King Jing accompanied Queen Xie for a while and left. He is already an adult, and he is not suitable to stay in the harem for a long time.

Empress Xie asked Jiang Chuan to go to the imperial study to have a look. If the emperor is not busy, she will go to the emperor.

Jiang Chuan got the order and went to the imperial study. Sun Doudou saw Jiang Chuan coming, and hurriedly walked up to ask her what was the matter.

"Little grandpa grandpa, is the emperor busy, the queen has something to find the emperor?"

"The emperor is not busy now."

"Thank you, little grandson, the slave will go back and tell the queen."

Not long after, Empress Xie took Jiang Chuan to the imperial study.

When the emperor saw that Empress Xie came to him at this time, he was a little surprised, and asked Sun Kui to invite her in.

Empress Xie saluted the emperor first, and then brought a bowl of soup she brought to the emperor.

The emperor was not in a hurry to drink the soup and asked Empress Xie if there was something wrong with him.

Empress Xie also knew that the emperor was busy, so she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly told the emperor the purpose of her coming to the imperial study.

When the emperor heard Empress Xie say that she would not do it this year, her first reaction was what Empress Xie was thinking.

"It's just a few Huns, but it won't bother me, you can do what you want."

"But, the emperor ......"

The emperor smiled slightly at Empress Xie: "As the empress, you can't help but do it, just do it as in previous years." ”

When Empress Xie heard the emperor say this, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor was going to approve the recital, Empress Xie did not stay for a long time, and immediately withdrew from the imperial study.

After Empress Xie left, the emperor looked at Sun Kui, who was standing aside, and ordered, "You go and choose something to give to the queen as a birthday gift." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Kui hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, should you give some dishes to the queen mother for the queen's millennial banquet as in previous years?" ”

The Emperor nodded his head and said, "Just do the same as in previous years." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at Sun Kui again: "The queen's thousand autumns are coming, why don't you remind me?" "If it weren't for Empress Xie just talking about her Qianqiu, the emperor would have forgotten about it.

"The slave thinks the emperor remembers." Sun Kui didn't expect the emperor to forget Empress Xie's thousand autumns.

The emperor glared at Sun Kui twice, and said in an unhappy tone: "I am so busy, how can I remember this little thing? ”

Sun Kui: "...... "Your Majesty, is the queen's mother's future a trivial matter?"

The emperor said angrily: "I don't even remember my own birthday, how can I remember someone else's birthday?" ”

"The emperor's forgiveness is the fault of the slave." Your Majesty, you don't remember the queen's thousand years, you don't remember your longevity, but you remember the birthdays of Concubine Liang and His Royal Highness the Tenth, and you don't need to be reminded by slaves and maids at all.

"Alright, remember to remind me the day before the queen Qianqiu." Although the emperor now knew that Empress Xie's Qianqiu would be in a few days, he would definitely forget it in two days.

Sun Kui said respectfully: "The slave must remind you." ”

The emperor did not say anything more, and immediately lowered his head and continued to review the recital. After approving for a while, he raised his head and said with a somewhat strange expression: "What do you say the queen suddenly doesn't want to hold her Qianqiu banquet?" What tricks is she playing? ”

The emperor still knows Empress Xie's temperament very well. With his understanding of Queen Xie, she would never be so virtuous and not hold a thousand autumn banquets.

The second watch is coming.

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass!
