Chapter 5 The Queen Mother XXVI
In the early morning, the weather was hot and humid, but fortunately, the sun was not high, and the heat had not yet come out.
Li Yun sat on a nine-dragon chariot, surrounded by dozens of eunuchs and guards, and headed towards the queen mother's bedroom.
If it weren't for Zhen'er's reminder this morning, he wouldn't have known that he would have to greet the Queen Mother on time as an emperor.
Fortunately, the little girl obeyed him, the emperor, and asked and answered, which also gave him enough understanding of the queen mother.
Empress Dowager Dong, born in Xuanwudao Dong, is the empress of Emperor Ling and the mother of Xizong.
It stands to reason that Li Yun, the Fu King, is not the Queen of the Spirit Emperor himself, and he can't fight with the Empress Dowager Dong, and the Fu King's biological mother has been sick and died for many years.
But after becoming the emperor, the Empress Dowager Dong became his mother-in-law and his queen mother.
The folk are talking about the so-called iron-beaten queen mother, the emperor of flowing water, and this is the queen mother Dong.
And the reason why Empress Dowager Dong is so strong, in addition to her father Dong Taigong, who was the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, is also related to the fact that her relatives have a large number of positions in the court.
Even after the death of Emperor Ling, all the clans faintly looked at the Empress Dowager Dong.
It's the so-called post-party.
Even Eunhae, a powerful 9,000-year-old, is unwilling to directly tear up his face with the Hou Party, just to maintain deterrence.
Li Yun looked at the surrounding eunuchs and guards, and thought about these rumors about the Empress Dowager Dong, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
These eunuch guards seem to be guards, but they are actually Enhai's people, and they are more surveillance. And the dignified emperor, in this palace, can't even trust his nominal mother.
In this court, there is really no smell, only the smell of power.
Just thinking about it, Long Yuan had already entered the Kangning Palace.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Li Yun got down from the dragon chariot and walked into the Kangning Palace, a burst of fragrance hit, and he saw that the palace in front of him was carved and painted with golden beams, which was much more luxurious than his emperor's bedroom.
The clothes of those palace maids and eunuchs are also silk brocade, and it seems that the people who live here are the masters of the imperial city.
A woman with a pretty face is leaning lazily on a golden couch, wearing a dragon and phoenix pearl crown, wearing an embroidered gold dragon and phoenix red Suluo, and a pearl curtain, which has a majesty.
This is the Empress Dowager Dong?
The moment he saw the Queen Mother, Li Yun couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
In his imagination, the Queen Mother must be fifty or sixty years old, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Dong was only twenty-six or seventeen years old!
As the so-called beauty is more enchanting, the spirit of autumn water is Ruixuebiao, and the Empress Dowager Dong is also a stunning beauty.
But it's normal to think about it, I have a preconceived idea, most of the people who got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen in ancient times, it is estimated that the Empress Dowager Dong was not much old when she was named the queen, and then Emperor Ling died.
Even if he has been a widow for ten years and has been the queen mother for ten years, he is not yet thirty years old.
I heard Zhen'er say that Empress Dowager Dong was once known as "peerless", and she really lived up to her reputation.
Thinking of this, Li Yun stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and said indifferently:
"Say hello to the Queen Mother, and wish the Queen Mother good health."
Empress Dowager Dong looked at Li Yun, a pair of phoenix eyes were scorching, although she was young, she seemed to have the Longwei of the lord of the first palace, and said lightly:
"The emperor has a heart, and sit."
As he spoke, he shook his hand casually, and glanced at the emperor in front of him carefully.
She couldn't say why, she always felt that today's emperor was a little different from the past, it seemed ...... Like an emperor?
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, putting these thoughts aside, Empress Dowager Dong slowly said to Li Yun:
"The emperor came here today, and the mourning family has something to discuss with you......"
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Dong sat up straight, showed her delicate figure, and said with a solemn face:
"The emperor has reached the age of dancing elephants, and he should also consider the matter of his heirs, the royal bloodline is a big thing, and he must not be negligent."
Li Yun's heart froze, and he instantly understood Empress Dowager Dong's wishful thinking.
Although the other party's queen mother is quite stable, the emperor candidate has always been in the hands of Enhai, so she seems to be much more passive.
If Li Yun has a son, even if he is deposed, there will be a son who will rightfully succeed him and continue to be the puppet emperor.
For Empress Dowager Dong, a baby is naturally easier to control, and it is justifiable, at least it can be stable for more than ten years.
She obviously didn't know that Eunhae was preparing to abolish the emperor after three months, and her wishful thinking was empty from the beginning.
Li Yun was expressionless at the moment, and said indifferently:
"It's all up to the Queen Mother to decide."
Empress Dowager Dong nodded with satisfaction:
"If you can care about the community, the mourning family will be relieved......"
Raising his slender jade hand, he patted it lightly and said:
"Yun'a, come out."
As he spoke, he saw a Qianqian figure walking out behind the jade screen, with fluttering clothes and rings, and she was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in palace clothes, with a pretty appearance, which was somewhat similar to the Empress Dowager Dong, but it looked more pure.
Judging from the Xia curtain on her body, she is also a concubine.
After the girl came out, she kept her head slightly down, lowered her eyebrows, and said to Li Yun:
"The concubine has seen the emperor, greet the emperor."
He only bowed slightly, did not kneel, and there was no respect in his words.
Empress Dowager Dong says:
"Concubine Yun has been in the palace for more than a year, but she has not yet given birth to an heir, and she is really a little unlucky, but this child is exquisite-minded and the most kind, and the emperor should be closer to her."
Hearing this, Li Yun felt like a mirror in his heart, and instantly understood what Empress Dowager Dong meant.
Have a child, and you must have a baby with this Concubine Yun!
The dignified king of a country was arranged like a stallion, and even who to have children with had to be specified, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little more about the situation of his predecessor.
At that moment, my heart was also a little angry, and I said expressionlessly:
"The matter of the bed, I don't have to worry about the queen mother."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dong's pupils shrank, she sat up straight suddenly, her embroidered eyebrows rose slightly, and she looked at Li Yun with a pair of beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to see him through.
There was a terrible silence in the main hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs on the side were all trembling and didn't dare to raise their heads, while Concubine Yun looked at Li Yun with some curiosity.
Why is this emperor so rebellious today?
After a few breaths, Empress Dowager Dong suddenly smiled, like a jade bead on the ground, breaking the dead silence in the hall:
"Emperor, you have really grown up...... When you first entered the palace from the people, you were still a child, and you were used to the wilderness in the people, and many of the etiquettes were not thorough, and you were afraid of the dark when you arrived in the palace...... Originally, your original servants were unusable, and they should all be expelled from the imperial city, and the mourning family thought that they should also leave some thoughts about the Fu Wangfu, so they left your maid Zhen'er......"
Li Yun raised his eyebrows, understanding that the other party was threatening him with Zhen'er.
The reason why he refuted the Empress Dowager Dong was originally to show his attitude and have another benefit, but when he heard the words of the Empress Dowager Dong, he immediately pretended to be sad and indignant, gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm speechless...... Since it is for the sake of the country, it is all up to the Queen Mother to arrange it......"
Then he said:
"But I have been living among the people for a long time, and my body is a little weak, even if I want an heir, I have to recuperate, I want a doctor."
Tai Hospital is in the hands of the Hou Party, alchemy is not so easy, and with medicinal materials, a doctor is also needed to help identify and process.
This is also the main purpose of Li Yun's visit to the Queen Mother today.
There was no problem with his request, and he seemed to be obedient after being humiliated.
Empress Dowager Dong smiled slightly, her eyes flowed, and her lips lightly said:
"This is natural, the mourning family asked Imperial Doctor Zhao to take good care of His Majesty."
Li Yun got up expressionlessly and saluted:
"Empress Dowager Lao bothered, I have returned to the palace."
As he spoke, he turned and left.
When Li Yun walked away, Concubine Yun said to Empress Dowager Dong:
"Auntie, this emperor ...... Your Majesty, how is it that today is a little different from the past? How dare you contradict your words? ”
Empress Dowager Dong sighed and said:
"The emperor is already sixteen years old, and it is normal for him to have his own thoughts, but I am afraid that he will be too sharp and cause Enhai to act in advance, then we will be controlled by the eunuch party again......"
Concubine Yun snorted coldly and said:
"He himself is just a clay tire wood sculpture, a puppet, but he doesn't know it, it's really a joke, I really think it's the co-master of the world?"
"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Dong reprimanded, "The hearts of the Li family of the Wu Dynasty are still there, as long as the people of the world still recognize the dragon chair, then someone has to sit on it!" Besides, he is your husband after all, what kind of system has he become? ”
Then he eased his face and said to Concubine Yun:
"Yun'er, whether our Dong family's Weilong in the court can take a step further depends on whether you can give birth to the prince of the Li family...... I know that you have always been reluctant to get close to the emperor, and you are still a virgin after entering the palace for more than a year, and I didn't bother to ask about these things before, so I went with you, but not in the future. ”
"You have to conceive the prince as soon as possible, and by that time, you will be the rightful queen, the mother of the world!"
Concubine Yun looked at her aunt pitifully, then lowered her head and bit her lip in response:
"Yes."
Then he saluted the Empress Dowager Dong and went back to his bedroom.
At the same time, Li Yun had already returned to his dormitory and couldn't wait to come to the imperial study.
The Imperial Doctor will be over soon, and he can't wait.
I'm going to open the furnace for alchemy!
