Chapter 444: The Empress (2)
The little county lord in Zhao Xiyan's mouth is the daughter of the Chen family, the princess of the king of Yingchuan, who exchanged her life for her life.
On the same day, Chen's dystocia died, and the little county lord was carried into the Jiaofang Palace to be raised. This little county lord has a very low sense of existence in the palace, and later there were many accidents in the palace, and even Zhao Xiyan had never heard the news of the little county lord. At this time, I mentioned it casually, but it didn't mean anything else.
The huge court will not be unable to accommodate a child of one or two years old.
Empress Dowager Su sighed: "The little county lord is also a short-lived and blessed person. After the execution of the Yingchuan Palace, she had a high fever and convulsions twice, and has been sick intermittently since then. The mourning family asked Mrs. Wan to take care of her, and Mrs. Wan said that she might not survive this year."
Nowadays, the infant mortality rate is high. Ordinary people raise children at home, and five can raise three or four, which can be regarded as careful and careful.
It is not uncommon for a small county lord to die of illness at such a big age.
Among them, it is unknown whether there is the handwriting of the Empress Dowager Su.
The blood of the little county lord is blurred, and the parties are dead. No one can tell whether the little county lord is the bloodline of the prince of Yingchuan or the orphan left by the first emperor.
Zhao Xiyan raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Su and said softly, "Let Imperial Doctor Wan try his best to save him, we will do our best."
Empress Dowager Su and Zhao Xiyan glanced at each other and snorted.
The two tacitly skipped the matter and did not mention the little county lord again.
Empress Dowager Su said with a smile, "You will take Xiaoguo'er and Xiaohua'er to live in the Jiaofang Hall today. The two children are still young, and the weather is so cold, don't take them to Renshou Palace in the future, so as not to suffer the cold. The mourners missed them, so they went to see them in the Jiaofang Palace."
This is the real distress for children.
Zhao Xiyan didn't say anything polite to Empress Dowager Su, and responded with a smile.
Empress Dowager Su said to Xu Jing again: "Tonight, the mourning family will let people prepare a good meal, and your family of four will come over for dinner together. With the addition of Huan'er, we also have a lot of people."
This sounds really poignant.
Even the old and the young, there are only six people in total, where can it be lively.
Empress Dowager Su herself was very happy. The heirs of the heavenly family withered, and there were a bunch of palace servants in the palace, and there were few serious masters. Now that Zhao Xiyan has brought a pair of children into the palace, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Su, it is already extremely lively.
Xiao Guo'er suddenly snorted a few times and twisted her chubby little body.
Little Flower also hummed.
Su Huan was a little surprised: "Why do they keep humming?"
Zhao Xiyan smiled: "They are hungry."
"Hurry up and feed the nurse." Empress Dowager Su immediately urged: "Don't starve the child."
After the child was carried down, Empress Dowager Su said to Zhao Xiyan: "The queen's canonization ceremony will be in a few days. You try the phoenix suit first."
To make a brand-new dragon robe and phoenix costume, it will take at least half a year. There was too late time, Xu Jing's dragon robe was changed from the dragon robe of the first emperor, and Zhao Xiyan's phoenix robe was changed from the phoenix robe of the Empress Dowager Su.
Zhao Xiyan responded with a smile.
After having dinner at Renshou Palace, the couple took their children back to Jiaofang Palace.
There are palace people carrying palace lamps in front and back, and the ground paved with cyan jade shines softly. The tall palace adds to the majestic momentum in the dark night.
The nurse hugged the little princess who was already asleep and went back to the bedroom first.
Zhao Xiyan suddenly stopped outside the hall, looked up, and was silent for a long time.
In her previous life, she was in the palace for two years, and she came to the Jiaofang Palace every day to ask for peace. At that time, she was the favorite concubine who everyone hated in the harem, and Queen Gao had the name of a queen.
No one knew how much she hated herself.
Everything is different in this life. She became the mistress of this palace, and she could live in the Jiaofang Hall with her head held high.
Xu Jing didn't move, silently accompanying Zhao Xiyan's side.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Xiyan sighed softly, turned his head to Xu Jing and said, "Let's go back to the dormitory."
Xu Jing snorted, held Zhao Xiyan's hand, and stepped into the Jiaofang Palace.
This palace has always been the residence of the queen.
Empress Dowager Su moved to Renshou Palace, and Jiaofang Hall was re-cleaned up, and at a cursory glance, the furnishings were elegant, not tacky at all.
Xu Jing laughed in a low voice, "If you don't like anything, just change it."
Zhao Xiyan said: "The Queen Mother deliberately cleaned up the Jiaofang Palace, and I changed things as soon as I came, which is not beautiful. Besides, it's all to my liking, so I don't need to change it."
Xu Jing is up to her: "You can do it if you like."
When I entered the dormitory, I saw that everything was brand new.
Xu Jing swept his eyes and expressed satisfaction with the large and sturdy bed: "This bed is good."
Zhao Xiyan's face was slightly red, and she reached out to twist Xu Jing.
Xu Jing grinned, grabbed Zhao Xiyan's hand in his palm with his backhand, and scratched her palm with his fingertips: "It's so late, I'm waiting for the queen to sleep."
When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.
Zhao Xiyan's hands and feet were sore, and he was helped by the hosta to get dressed. There is no fat powder, but the complexion is as bright as a peach blossom.
The hosta wanted to be afraid that the master's face would be thin and embarrassed, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "The queen mother specially sent someone to pass the word, and the queen mother first entered the palace to live, I am afraid that there is a lot of unaccustomedness. There is no need to go to Renshou Palace to say goodbye these days. Also, the things in the Jiaofang Palace, the mother is not used to it, just change it, and you don't have to worry about it."
Empress Dowager Su's delicate mind can be seen.
Zhao Xiyan fixed his mind and said, "Those who are younger generations should be filial to their elders. Please be safe every day. It's a little later today, but I'm still going to go."
The hosta and begonia responded together, and went to Renshou Palace with the master to ask for peace.
When Empress Dowager Su saw Zhao Xiyan coming, she smiled and said, "I deliberately asked people to pass the word, but you and I can't beat you." If you're tired, you can rest for a few days."
Zhao Xiyan smiled: "I was a little tired, but when I saw the Queen Mother, I had the strength of my whole body, and I was not tired at all."
Empress Dowager Su was amused for a moment, and then ordered: "Let all the stewards in the palace come over and meet the queen."
There are nearly 1,000 palace people in the harem, and there are not a few servants. Emperor Yongming died happily, and many beauties were left in the harem. So many people, every day to buy food and drink, spend a huge amount of silver. net
There are more people, and there are more trivialities. Therefore, the lord of the harem is by no means so simple four words. It is necessary to take responsibility seriously.
Empress Dowager Su has been in charge of the East Palace for 20 years, and has been in charge of palace affairs for several years, so she is very familiar with these things.
"When they all come, you can see them one by one," Empress Dowager Su laughed in a low voice: "Specific palace affairs, don't be in a hurry to take over first, follow the mourning family for a year and a half, and when everything is done, the mourning family will slowly hand it over to you."
The daughter-in-law of an ordinary family enters the door and stays up for twenty or thirty years until her mother-in-law closes her eyes before taking charge of the house. Not to mention such a big mess of affairs as the harem.
Empress Dowager Su asked Zhao Xiyan to learn for a year and a half before delegating power, which was already very considerate.
