Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 90
In the midday of winter, the sun is still flourishing.
Standing on the clock tower, Wang Taiyu and Xu Taiyuan looked at the body of Queen Mother Zhai with a little complicated expression.
When the leading garrison came to her place, it was already too late.
Even if the Empress Dowager Zhai stumbled, the emperor would definitely have to account for the guards who were stationed in the tower.
After the garrison gave a respectful gift to Wang Taiyu and Xu Taiyuan, he asked her two people and said: “Two empresses, since you are both present, can you tell why Queen Mother Zhai fell from the bell tower?”
Xu Taiyuan was a little flustered, her eyes dodged, not knowing how to return to the guard.
Wang Taiyu spread out the palm of her hand, revealing an ear that she had removed beforehand, and her tone deliberately returned to the guard with a trembling tone: “After the ceremony of the first Emperor, I actually found that I had lost an ear. I called Xu Taiyuan to help me find it together, but I didn’t think about it… but didn’t think it…”
Before finishing speaking, Wang Taiyu sobbed.
The garrison was panicked by her, but he had to clarify the matter, otherwise he would not be able to deal with the emperor.
Fortunately, Wang Taiyu said some useful information to him with a weeping tone, saying: “Originally, Xu Taiyuan and I had to find the missing ear clang, and they wanted to go back to the palace together, but who knew they actually met the queen mother? Leaning forward, seeing that she was about to fall off the clock tower… Xu Taiyuan and I hurried over, thinking whether we could save the queen mother, but it was too late…”
After that, the garrison saw Wang Taiyu grabbing Xu Taiyuan’s wrist next to him, and after signaling to him, he said: “Originally, the queen mother was frail and sickly. Today is the death of the first emperor. She has been overwhelmed for a while. The cold wind, probably because of exhaustion, fell down… Xu Taiyuan could not catch the queen mother in the future, so she fell down… Xu Taiyuan was eager to save people, and the armor had not had time to take off. The queen mother should have some on the back of her neck. Blood marks… but these blood marks… were also accidentally made by Xu Taiyuan in order to save people.”
Although Wang Taiyu was the concubine of the first emperor, she was a young and beautiful man. He cried so much that it rained with pear blossoms. His speech was reasonable and well-founded. The garrison believed that he believed it to be true and prepared to report what Wang Taiyu and him said to Mu Huai.
Xu Taiyuan was undecided, but she was secretly relieved. Fortunately, Wang Taiyu was beside her. Otherwise, if she did such a thing alone, she would not succeed, but would fold herself in.
Wang Taiyu prepared needles, and originally wanted to use these needles to stun Queen Mother Zhai. After taking out the cloth from her mouth, she would never call for help or confess her two.
At this time, Xu Taiyuan finally understood that she couldn’t blame the first emperor who favored Wang Taiyu the most. She was really a smart person.
After Xu Taiyuan and Wang Taiyu descended from the bell tower, they saw that the emperor and queen had already reached this point.
The two of them were still wearing ritual suits that were suitable for sacrifice, and when they looked at the body of Queen Mother Zhai side by side with a frown, they made others feel that they were particularly right.
The empress and his wife’s affectionate appearance is not at all visible, and they have been at odds.
The west wind started to rise, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger.
Rong Xi covered his mouth and nose with a silk kerchief, and resisted the sudden vomiting in his heart.
Empress Dowager Zhai’s death was extremely terrifying, and the people from the hospital had already covered her face with white silk.
The garrison who came down from the bell tower walked to Mu Huai and reported everything that had happened at Shi Cai to Mu Huai.
Mu Huai listened indifferently, and glanced at Xu Taiyuan and Wang Taiyu who were pretending to cry with those cold eyes.
Later, he turned his head and glanced at the petite woman beside him.
Mu Huai did not expect that Rong Xi could really accomplish this.
From the beginning to the end, he only used the power of the supervisor and cooperated with Rong Xi to pretend that the two were at odds.
Mu Huai knew early in the morning that although Rong Xi’s appearance was slender and delicate, on the inside, he was a woman with wrists and good calculations.
He used to mock her for being vicious, but only talked about it.
Mu Huai always felt that Rong Xi was weak and crying, his temperament was timid, and he was always weak and obedient in front of him.
Such a slender, petite woman can naturally arouse a man’s instinctive desire for protection.
After Mu Huai found her back, he also wanted to shelter her, and wanted her to be a beautiful greenhouse to shelter her from wind and rain.
But what happened during the two months of the Eastern Tour, and what happened today, made him deeply aware of what kind of woman she was.
This may be her true temperament.
He has always been suspicious. A woman with a temperament like Rong Xi is his pillow, he should have been on guard.
But now, he admires Rong Xi from the heart.
He even felt that, as the monarch of Qi, the woman who stood beside him admiring the mountains and rivers with him had to be like Rong Xi, with both scheming and means.
And when it should be vicious, he will never be indecisive.
Rong Xi didn’t notice that Mu Huai looked at her approvingly for a long while. Although she knew the cause of the Queen Mother’s death, she still pretended to calm the emotions of the two in front of the palace.
After the Eunuch Dali lifted the body of Queen Mother Zhai, the palace officials also attributed the cause of Queen Mother Zhai’s death to an accidental misstep.
After Mu Huai returned to the Qianyuan Palace, the current minister of rituals had already arrived and asked him how to arrange the funeral of the Queen Mother.
After Mu Huai ascended the throne, he once ordered Taichang Temple to move to the imperial mausoleum. Since he named her birth mother Xianfei as queen, he naturally wanted to let Xianfei and Emperor Zhuang be buried together.
With the position of the queen, it is justifiable for Emperor Zhuang and the concubine to be buried together.
But since Empress Dowager Zhai died, according to Daqi’s ritual, she was to be buried together with Emperor Zhuang.
The so-called joint burial is in the same mausoleum, with Emperor Zhuang’s coffin in the middle, and the coffin of the concubine Xian and the coffin of Queen Mother Zhai on both sides.
Thinking of this, Mu Huai’s brows were slightly sullen.
How could he tolerate the **** Zhai, being buried with his father and mother?
When the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites asked about this, Mu Huai replied in a low tone: “She is from a sinner, and my father is willing to keep her forever. It is my father’s kindness.”
There is no need to talk about Taiming, the Book of Rites fully understood the intention of the new emperor.
This Queen Mother Zhai will not be buried with Emperor Zhuang.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites asked: “Your Majesty, what system should be used to bury the Queen Mother?”
Mu Huai looked unhesitating, and his eyebrows replied coldly: “When Zhai Zhuo was in your place, he had damaged the tomb of Empress Yizhen for personal gain. If I let her enter the royal tomb, after a hundred years, I will not be able to become the emperor Explain to Empress Yizhen.”
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette originally worked under Zhai Zhuo, but he was quite resentful of this superior, and he did not want the funeral of the Queen Mother to be too glorious.
But he still had to do things according to his duties, so he asked Mu Huai: “Where should the queen mother be buried?”
Mu Huai wanted this **** to die, but she was his aunt after all, and she had already died tragically.
After all, he also had to take into account the imperial decree before Emperor Zhuang’s death.
Mu Huai’s voice concealed his disgust, and ordered: “Look for an open space outside the imperial mausoleum at will, and erect a stone tablet to bury her. People resent the Zhai family so much, and her funeral should not be carried out in a big way. Just a sacred decree that the queen mother died.”
He once promised Emperor Zhuang to treat the living Queen Mother Zhai kindly.
But since Queen Mother Zhai was killed by Wang Taiyu and Xu Taiyuan, he would no longer have any scruples about the dead Queen Mother.
Let her be buried for the time being, this is a way of destroying the tomb and the coffin, which is still not noticeable, he has.
Although the **** of the Zhai family died, Mu Huai still felt depressed.
Some of his actions towards his father Zhuangdi were helpless and even hard to understand.
If you really like a woman, why do you want to get involved with other women? Do you want to share your thoughts with others?
Mu Huai never felt that it was good to have a lot of Yingying and Yanyan surrounding him, but when he thought of such a scene, he was upset.
He just wanted that woman to accompany her.
After his death in this life, he will be buried in the same coffin with her, and he does not want to be buried with her in Mu’s royal tomb.
Mu Huai thought, after a few years, after Qi’s treasury became more full, he let the people from the Ministry of Industry enclose a piece of land on the outskirts of Bianjing.
He wants to rebuild a huge and luxurious underground mausoleum. After a hundred years later, he and Rong Xi will let Mu Luo bury both of them here, and then let him seal the underground mausoleum, leaving only him and Rong Xi lying there. there.
He was the only woman in his life, and she was the only woman in his death.
Perhaps it was because he had died once, so when he thought of the mausoleum or tomb, he didn’t feel any fear at all.
But although the woman’s mind was poisonous, she was still less courageous.
Mu Huai didn’t want to let Rong Xi know these thoughts.
Thinking about it, Mu Huai lifted his eyes and looked at the **** who was standing in the palace.
The **** immediately asked respectfully: “Your Majesty is looking for the empress?”
Mu Huai’s face became darker, and he scolded him: “When do you dare to guess my mind?”
The **** immediately knelt down and confessed his mistake with fear.
He was confused, even if he knew what Mu Huai was thinking, as a servant, he couldn’t speculate about the holy will.
Mu Huai looked at the **** who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice: “Get up. Go and call the queen…”
******
Jiaofang Palace.
Rong Xi secretly felt that her mentality was still weaker, and when she thought of the body of the Queen Mother, she felt nauseous.
In the past few days, she has always been tired, and even often sleeps and sweats.
Danxiang cast her black hair for her, with an expression of concern: “The empress has been looking a little bit tired these days, please ask the imperial doctor to see it tomorrow.”
Rong Xi nodded, because she looked haggard, she put on some makeup.
She drew and brushed her eyebrows and touched her sandal lips. She didn’t want Mu Huai to see her haggard side.
There are many people who have passed away in the palace recently, and it is not easy to wear too bright clothes. After returning to Jiaofang Palace, Rong Xi changed into a frost-colored silk robe.
Rong Xi’s skin is so translucent with frost color. Such a beauty with icy muscles and bones and a fairy-like appearance is a national treasure of a country. Only Emperor Mu Huai can be worthy of her and can protect her. she was.
The little palace lady who was waiting for Rong Xi couldn’t help being silly.
She couldn’t think of anyone more beautiful than the empress.
The little palace lady once heard that the two children of Queen Mother Yan Guoxiao were very beautiful.
She and the little princess Ji Li, who was born as the ruler of the Kingdom of Yan, is a stunning beauty and is known as the number one beauty of Yan.
But I don’t know if this Ji Li is a beautiful girl.
And the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother Xiao and the regent, Ji Zou, is said to be a man more beautiful than a woman.
Although Ji Zai is not from Qi, but in recent years, many daughters of the family of Bianjing have secretly admired the eldest son of Yan who had never met.
The little maid thought of this, but still wondered.
I haven’t seen his appearance, what I admire.
She only heard that there was a blood drop-shaped red mole on Ji Hao’s brow.
——”Why look at this palace so madly? What are you thinking?”
Queen Rong’s gentle voice interrupted the little palace lady’s thoughts.
She felt that Queen Rong was very kind to the palace people on weekdays, and she was not as domineering as the outsiders said.
Dan Xiang glanced at her. Not long after this little palace lady entered the palace, she was clever but not steady.
Seeing the queen asked her, she actually told her everything she thought.
After Rong Xi heard this, he also thought of Ji Zou.
She had an impression of this person, but it was the first time he had heard of the red mole on his forehead.
Rong Xi was also quite disdainful of Ji Zhu and his father’s actions.
If this were to change a woman, it would definitely be criticized as evil.
Ji Zou is a man, who does things like cholera palace curtains and is still admired by girls. At best, he can only be said to be unruly.
Her Bianjing girl still admires such a bad temperament?
Rong Xi was in the position of queen, and when he looked at Qi country, it was not much the same as before.
She also hopes that the folk atmosphere will be more righteous, and that the people of Mu Huai will admire upright gentlemen.
As soon as Rong Xi finished dressing up, the chief **** of Qianyuan Palace came to look for her.
It was said that the two hadn’t eaten dinner together for a long time. Rong Xi criticized the foxcloak and walked with the palace people to Qianyuan Palace with a little excitement in his heart. He saw that Mu Huai was still criticizing Zhezi after the imperial case.
Realizing that the woman was here, he raised his eyes to look at her.
Although she is dressed plainly today, there is a kind of elegant beauty.
Clearer and more vivid than that of Xinxue.
Mu Huai’s stern eyebrows suddenly softened a little, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
After that **** Zhai died, he no longer had to pretend to be at odds with her.
The emperor simply glanced at each other. When the **** accidentally caught a glimpse, she felt that there seemed to be a spark of “cymbals” between the two.
The spark shook the great **** dizzy.
But this is right.
The emperor and the empress should really be deeply affectionate and raise their eyebrows.
Although Empress Dowager Zhai had just started, the great **** felt joyful in his heart.
The palace man quickly prepared the supper, but Rong Xi felt that his appetite was low, and even felt more disgusting than in the day.
It is said that she was sick this morning because she saw the body of the Queen Mother.
But now, she is still like this, which is really abnormal.
Mu Huai was holding vegetables for the woman, but saw her frowning, and her delicate hands covered her heart.
Seeing this slight change in his eyes, he asked in a low voice with concern: “What’s wrong?”
