The Virtuous Queen (1)

This simple queen canonization ceremony was recorded in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty. Empress Zhao, who was known as the first virtuous queen of the Great Jin Dynasty by later generations, started a new life.

What does it really feel like to be a queen?

On the first day of the new year, Zhao Queyu entered the palace with his mother to meet the queen. At the beginning, the rules were decent, and everyone was dignified. When he was in private, he regained his lively nature, and pulled Zhao Xiyan's sleeve and asked this question curiously.

Zhao Suxin also looked at it curiously.

Zhao Xiyan thought for a moment and smiled, "It's much simpler than I thought. The affairs of the palace are worried about the queen mother. I'll just take care of the Jiaofang Palace, and spend every day with Xiaoguo'er and Xiaohua'er brothers and sisters."

Zhao Suxin showed a clear smile and said softly, "The Queen Mother is virtuous and capable, and treats you very well. You are devoted to raising your children and taking care of the emperor's food, clothing, and daily life, which is similar to the days before."

There are no picky and mean elders, no obstructive concubines and beauties, husband and wife are united, such a comfortable day is easy and pleasant.

As for the shortage of money in the palace, eat less than six or eight dishes at each meal, halve the use case, and make fewer new clothes during the New Year.

It's nothing.

Zhao Queyu listened to it with relish, and did not forget to whisper gossip: "Sixth cousin, I heard that you often go to the Fuyou Hall at night to accompany the emperor to review the folds. Is this true?"

Before Zhao Xiyan could say anything, Zhao Suxin glared at her: "Can this be nonsense? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can the queen mother knowingly commit it."

Even if there is, it cannot be openly admitted.

Zhao Queyu closed her mouth under the warning gaze of her fifth cousin.

Zhao Xiyan chuckled, "Actually, this matter is not a secret. I do go to the Temple of Blessings every night. The emperor watched the folds, and I waited for the pen and ink on the side."

There are many people in the palace. She goes to the Blessing Hall every night, and she can't hide it from anyone at all. It's only been a month, and it has already spread outside the palace, and it has all reached Zhao Queyu's ears.

Zhao Xiyan had already been mentally prepared, and at this time he opened his eyes and lied, and he was extremely smooth.

Zhao Suxin and Zhao Xiyan glanced at each other, followed Zhao Xiyan's words and said with a smile: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, and he has to watch excerpts at night. The queen should serve the pen and ink for a moment or two."

With Zhao Xiyan's ability, it is not a problem to watch some ordinary twists and turns and imitate Xu Jing's handwriting.

Zhao Queyu was not so tactful and subtle, and said bluntly: "The sixth cousin is good at calligraphy, she can write more than a dozen fonts, and after reading the words once, she can write them exactly right. The emperor was too busy to review the music, and the sixth cousin helped to take a look at it and review a few copies, which was also for the emperor's worries."

"Perhaps, the sixth cousin is faster and better than the emperor!"

I have to say that at this moment, Zhao Queyu is the truth.

Zhao Xiyan glanced at Zhao Queyu silently.

Zhao Suxin immediately smiled and opened the topic: "After this year, the seventh cousin should also say that she is married. Now the eldest aunt is very worried, there are so many people who come to the door to propose marriage, and I can't pick them at all."

Zhao Queyu was not ashamed at all, and said confidently: "My cousin is the queen, my brother-in-law is the emperor, and my father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. I'm so smart, lively and lovely, and they have a vision for me as a daughter-in-law."

Zhao Xiyan snorted and reached out to pinch Zhao Queyu's nose: "That's right. Our Zhao Qi girl, everyone loves us, and flowers bloom. Tell me if there is a young man in the picture."

Zhao Queyu became distressed again, and sighed: "Either oily hair and noodles, or pretending, none of them look pleasing to the eye."

The fifth brother-in-law, Wu Shao, is a gentle and considerate man. The sixth brother-in-law, Xu Jing, is even more affectionate and single-minded, and can be called the first good husband in Dajin.

Zhuyu is in front, which makes Zhao Queyu's vision infinitely higher. Look at the hairy boys who came to the door to propose, where can they still be eye-catching.

Zhao Xiyan smiled again: "A lifelong event, you can't be impatient. Since there is no match, wait slowly. Perhaps, a good relationship will come soon."

When your sisters speak, you don't have to think too much about it, you can speak casually. Zhao Xiyan was particularly happy today, leaving Zhao Suxin and Zhao Queyu to have dinner in the Jiaofang Palace.

Zhao Queyu looked at the six dishes on the table, and was a little shocked: "Niangniang eats these for dinner on weekdays?"

This is no different from the dinner in Zhao's Mansion!

Zhao Suxin was also distressed, and sighed softly, "Don't be too bitter about yourself."

Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly, and his expression was calm: "There are meat, vegetables, soup, and soup, and there are five or six kinds of noodles. Such a dinner is not a simple one. Taiyuan County is at war, and if you save some money in the palace, you can save more money and food. We can't let the soldiers go hungry and fight hard."

Therefore, it is not easy to be a queen!

Xu Jing, the son of heaven, wants to work hard for the stability of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Xiyan, as the queen, must share the joys and sorrows of entering and retreating from the palace together.

After dinner, Zhao Queyu and Zhao Suxin retired from the palace together. Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Zhao Queyu kept silent.

Zhao Suxin glanced at her with a smile: "Why don't you speak?"

Zhao Queyu turned his head and looked a little sullen: "I entered the palace for a day today, and I realized that the sixth cousin had such a hard time. I really wanted to do something, but when I thought about it, I couldn't pick or carry it on my shoulders, and I didn't have much money in my private house. It's not enough to do anything."

Zhao Suxin was quite pleased, and laughed in a low voice: "If you have this heart, it is enough. Don't worry, the emperor and the mother can hold on."

Zhao Queyu snorted, thought about it, and said angrily: "Dajin is a mess. After several years of fighting, the treasury has long been emptied. Now there are still bandits and people in various states and counties, and it is not okay not to send troops, and the money spent by soldiers is like flowing water. State affairs are cumbersome, and my brother-in-law is not worried about sitting on the dragon chair. That's it, everyone thinks that he is lucky, and he picked up a throne for nothing. They should really open their eyes and see, if it weren't for the brother-in-law to stabilize the situation in time, Da Jin might have perished."

"Can't say that." Zhao Suxin said softly: "It is indeed fortunate to be able to inherit the throne smoothly. Dajin is a mess, and it has to be cleaned up slowly. Now life is difficult, wait for three years and five years, the court is stable, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be a good life. At that time, the emperor and the mother will not have to work so hard."

Zhao Queyu was still sullen, turned his head again, and stared at the corner of the carriage in a daze.

Zhao Suxin didn't say much.

Nothing is perfect. If the Great Jin Dynasty is rich and safe, why should the courtiers support Xu Jing as the emperor! Isn't it good to pick a young child from the clan to inherit the throne under the name of the East Palace, and the courtiers reach out to the government?

It is precisely because the Great Jin Dynasty is riddled with holes that it needs a brave and fearless and benevolent Son of Heaven. Therefore, Xu Jing can successfully ascend to the throne.
