It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 126

Ren Yujun stayed in the house. Hearing that the maid came back, he quickly stood up and asked, “How’s it going?”

The maid’s expression was also very panicked. She leaned into Ren Yujun’s ear and said in a voice: “The father-in-law who is reporting the funeral is here, and he is very kind to the princess. The father-in-law also said that he will take the princess into the palace tomorrow.”

Ren Yujun covered his heart and fell onto his seat. After a long time, her heart was still beating.

King Jing actually really… She thought that her life was over, but she never expected that there would be a day when mountains and rivers will be restored, and the willows will be bright.

If King Jing becomes the emperor, then the son…isn’t he the prince?

In another courtyard not far away, the lights in it remained unextinguished all night. Zhou Shunhua was stunned for a long time when he heard the message from Zhao Zixun.

The serving maid thought Zhou Shunhua was frightened. She stirred the medicinal porridge and put it to Zhou Shunhua’s hand, saying: “Fang Concubine, don’t be too scared, you can’t tell anything about this royal matter. You haven’t slept all night, and you can’t hold it up. Drink the medicated porridge first. Got it.”

A wry smile crossed Zhou Shunhua’s lips. How could she be afraid, she was just too happy… and too unwilling.

Obviously, she can give birth to a child only by a little, and the mother depends on the price. She has children, but Lu Yufei does not, and with the support of the government, she should have been named a princess.

Unfortunately, there is nothing now.

After Master Tang got the hint from the palace, the hanging heart was finally let go, and only then did he feel sleepy. Master Tang knew that Zhao Chengjun became the emperor in the plot, but it was not as good as personal experience in writing, and the time, place, and reasons were all wrong. Master Tang really didn’t dare to hold too much confidence.

Now, she felt that she had fallen back to the ground. Master Tang went back to the room and drank a cup of soothing tea. After placing Zhao Zigao next to him, he fell asleep.

Seeing Master Tang was asleep, the maids did not dare to disturb, so they removed all the lamps in the house, and even the light outside the house was blocked with curtains, for fear of disturbing the princess’s sleep. The main courtyard of the palace was quiet all morning, Tang Shishi was immersed in his sleep, completely unaware of the ups and downs of the outside world.

Early this morning, Tang Mingzhe felt his eyelids jump right from the start. Suddenly there was a death knell in the middle of the night. He was awakened by the sound outside. He was reluctant to get up and change lanterns and window papers, and remove all taboos. Tang Mingzhe likes style, the Tang family is beautifully decorated and magnificent, so it is conceivable that there are many places that do not conform to the national funeral.

Tang Mingzhe was tossed all night before squinting at dawn. But I haven’t slept long, and it’s time to get up. Tang Mingzhe is going to talk about business today, so he can’t be late. He cursed and changed his clothes while being served by the Su family.

Tang Mingzhe just got up, his brain is still not bright. He saw the clothes in Su Clan’s hand, and said disgustedly: “Why do you find such a plain body? Go and get my golden brocade robe everywhere.”

Su’s warm voice reminded: “Master, you forgot, the emperor Daxing died last night, the whole country will be in mourning for a hundred days, and you can’t wear gold.”

Tang Mingzhe only remembered, yes, the emperor is dead. Hearing the dead person early in the morning was really unlucky. Tang Mingzhe frowned and stared at the clothes in front of him, disgustingly said: “Forget it, that’s it.”

Tang Mingzhe changed his clothes, and still murmured: “You can’t get married or get married within a hundred days, you can’t eat meat, you can’t go to restaurants. Tsk…”

He didn’t say anything afterwards, but Su Clan and the servant girls knew that Tang Mingzhe was in trouble. This kind of power change has nothing to do with them. Ordinary Xiaomins have never seen a palace gate, let alone have any empathy for the emperor who has passed away.

To be uncomfortable, it is also uncomfortable to not eat meat for more than three months.

Tang Mingzhe didn’t think about his own direction at all. In his eyes, the emperor is the emperor, and King Jing is the prince, and they are basically two identities. How can there be an intersection?

He went to the dining room for breakfast, because he got up late and it was a bit late. He frequently watched the time, impatiently urging his servants to hurry up, sometimes scolding the young man for sneaking and skidding, and then scolding the Su family for being ineffective. Su Clan lowered her head, and even though it was clearly Tang Mingzhe’s fault, she did not reply, and responded one by one.

Seeing that the time was running out, Tang Mingzhe took a few sips, ignoring the heat, and picked it up to drink tea. He was originally unstable, but at this time, there was a sudden explosion of “Master” from the outside. Tang Mingzhe was taken aback, his hands shook, and the corners of his mouth were severely burned.

Tang Mingzhe stood up and scolded angrily: “Which tortoise-grandson is rushing to the funeral?”

Su Clan was anxious and asked eagerly around him: “Master, is it hot? Let me ask for ointment.”

Xiao Si was leading a person into it, and the person who saw Tang Mingzhe was eating, said, “Yeah, it happened that I was here, and it disturbed the official Tang to eat.”

When Tang Mingzhe saw it, it was the business person he was going to meet today. He immediately changed his smile. There was no such violent expression just now: “It turned out to be shopkeeper Lu, who has missed a long way to welcome him, please sit down.”

Shopkeeper Lu saw that the corner of Tang Mingzhe’s mouth was red, and asked, “What’s wrong with the official’s mouth?”

Tang Mingzhe said, “The servant is stupid, and I was scalded after serving hot tea. But it doesn’t matter, Brother Lu, didn’t we make an appointment to see Changxianglou today? Why did Brother Lu come here by himself?”

Shopkeeper Lu smiled and said: “Official man, you forgot, the restaurant will not open today.”

Tang Mingzhe also thought that during the national funeral, any singing, dancing and enjoyment are prohibited. However, the Changxiang Tower won’t open, so Tang Mingzhe should find another place to treat him. Why did Shopkeeper Lu come to Tang’s house in person?

Tang Mingzhe thought in his heart. He turned his head and saw that Su Shi was still standing in front of him, staring displeasedly: “What are you doing here? Didn’t you see that I am busy with business? Get out!”

Su’s intention was to please but was scolded, and it was so shameless. She felt embarrassed and left her face in a desperate manner. Tang Mingzhe turned around and smiled at the shopkeeper Lu: “Brother Lu, sit down. My concubine room has no rules, so you laughed.”

“What did the official Tang say? His wife’s wife is good at keeping the house. It is a sign of prosperity.” I don’t know what happened, but the shopkeeper Lu, who used to be ignorant of Tang Mingzhe, was very enthusiastic today. After he sat down, he didn’t say a few words. So he turned to Tang Mingzhe, “Tang Daguan, congratulations. I have always regarded you as the brother of brothers and sisters, but I didn’t expect the officials to have such a big good thing, but I didn’t tell the little brother.”

Tang Mingzhe sounded a little confused. He was a businessman, and he knew best that he would be courteous and steal if he did not commit crimes. He was unfamiliar with the place where he was born in Jinling. He originally wanted to be in the Lu family. Why is the surname Lu treating him so diligent now?

Tang Mingzhe smiled and slapped haha, and asked, “I’m stupid, I didn’t understand the meaning of Brother Lu. What did Brother Lu mean?”

Shopkeeper Lu now looks like you are still pretending to be with me, winking his eyes and said: “What else can be, naturally it is a happy event for the officials. I heard that King Jing is now the emperor, if it weren’t for my daughter in the Hou Mansion. There is a way, I don’t know about it. Congratulations, Brother Tang has a good daughter, it’s so expensive!”

Tang Mingzhe was completely stunned with the tea cup in his hand. King Jing, the emperor? Isn’t King Jing the title of Tang’s teacher-in-law?

His eldest son-in-law became the emperor?

When the shopkeeper Lu saw Tang Mingzhe’s uncomfortable words, he thought he wanted to continue holding the air. Shopkeeper Lu knew clearly, and said: “Brother Tang is really a noble man, and you have such a son-in-law, what kind of way are you looking for me? You are deliberately teasing me. Don’t worry, Brother Tang, take the place of Wuding Bridge. The meeting gift Lu gave to Brother Tang, I don’t take any money, so I handed it over.”

Tang Mingzhe finally reacted. He threw the tea cup down on the table with a bang. There was no place he cared about Wuding Bridge. He panicked and said: “Come here, get the car, and go to the Jing Palace. No, go to the palace. Please come, madam!”

A young servant didn’t understand, and asked, “Master, is it the eldest lady or the second lady?”

Tang Mingzhe was so angry that he slapped the opponent’s head and slapped him in a circle: “Asshole stuff, what kind of old lady and second lady, there is only one lady in the Tang family!”

Master Tang woke up naturally and woke up leisurely. When the maid heard the movement, she rolled up the curtains and said with a smile: “Princess, you are finally awake. Sister Dujuan is afraid that the little princess will disturb you, so she has already taken the princess to the side hall.”

Master Tang nodded and slowly got up. The maid hurriedly put cushions and pillows behind Master Tang, Master Tang sat down and asked, “What time is it?”

“It’s the end of the time. Princess, you can sleep well this time, and many people outside are waiting to please you.”

As soon as Master Tang woke up, he couldn’t turn his mind, and asked casually, “Who is it?”

“Tang family, Qi family, some princesses who live nearby.” The maid said with a smile, “and the eunuchs in the palace.”

“The Superintendent of Li?” Master Tang was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, “Didn’t they give the emperor red and ghostwriting? Why are they in our palace?”

“The emperor ordered them to take the princess into the palace.”

Master Tang took a breath and asked tentatively: “The emperor is…”

“It’s the prince.” The maid laughed, “The enthronement ceremony is still in preparation, but the court has already announced to the officials and the world, just waiting to be enthroned. The first thing in the emperor’s dynasty is to send someone to pick up the princess and Xiaojun. The king enters the palace. Congratulations to the princess, the princess congratulations.”

Master Tang was stunned for a long time and couldn’t say anything: “I have slept for so long, they have been waiting outside?”

“Yes.”

Master Tang’s eyes were black: “Why don’t you wake me up!”

The maid was embarrassed: “The emperor said, don’t let the princess wake up. The father-in-laws of the li supervisor also said, let the princess sleep well, they don’t worry about waiting a while.”

Master Tang hurriedly changed clothes and got up. She found that Zhao Zigao had already made arrangements. There were so many people inside and out, all waiting for her. Master Tang didn’t dare to imagine the outside scene, so he quickly arranged his appearance and followed the **** into the palace.

The eunuchs of the Li Jian smiled when they saw her, and they didn’t see any impatient waiting. Master Tang had been to the palace several times before, and even lived in the palace for three years, but not once was it so powerful and vigorous as it is now.

After entering the palace, the attitudes of the palace people were also completely different, and they did not see the previous negligence towards her. A female officer of the Shang Palace Bureau respectfully welcomed Tang Shishi to a palace, and said cautiously: “Niang, you should live in Kunning Palace, but Empress Wu Zong has a lot of things. I haven’t completely moved out today, so I can only wrong you. There will be only a few days here.”

Last night, the posthumous title of the first emperor has not yet been determined, and everyone is temporarily called the emperor of Daxing. Today, the cabinet has discussed the posthumous title and funeral of the first emperor, and the palace people have all changed to Wuzong.

Taking “wu” as a posthumous posthumous name is not a good word.

Tang Shishi looked around the palace, and saw flying eaves and arches, carved beams and painted ridges, wide and bright, making it comfortable to look at. Teacher Tang was born in a small family and had no attachments to the palace. He said, “It’s very good here. It’s a hard work for the female officials.”

“Serving the empress is the honor of the slave and maid. I dare not call it hard.” The female officer respected Tang Master and was full of flattery. In the early days of today, the cabinet proposed that the country should not have a ruler for a day. According to the ancestral rituals, the father died and the son succeeded, and the brothers and last brothers, Wuzong and Xiaozong had no heirs, and King Jing should inherit the throne. The following civil and military officials have no objections. After Zhao Chengjun intentionally declined three times, there is no suspense, and the matter is finalized.

The enthronement ceremony was scheduled for fourteen days, but now Zhao Chengjun is the actual emperor, and no one is stupid enough to get along with him. After Zhao Chengjun became the emperor, he did three things. The first was to give the Emperor Daxing a posthumous name and hold a funeral; the second was to designate his birth mother, Gonglie, the noble concubine Guo, as the empress dowager of Rongde and Yao Peier, the empress of Wuzong, as the empress dowager. , Lived in the East Palace of Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Yao supported Xiaozong and Wuzong with meritorious service, and was named the Empress Dowager together, and lived in the West Palace of Cining Palace. Because the two living queen mothers are both named Yao, they are also called the Queen Mother of the East Palace and the Queen Mother of the West Palace.

The harem family members have always only been promoted, and rarely descended. This time, it is good. Empress Dowager Yao has been relegated from the Empress Dowager to the Empress Dowager. This is truly an unprecedented spectacle.

It is as strange as the death of the imperial concubine.

The third one is the canonization of Master Tang as the queen. It’s just that the ceremony cannot be held now, and it must be held together with Zhao Chengjun’s enthronement ceremony.

Master Tang suddenly realized his dream of life, to be honest, a little dizzy.
