Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 13 The Porcelain of Cining Palace

In the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Sun sat firmly on the couch when a beautiful woman in her twenties came in outside.

The woman was dressed in a big red robe, with a four-phoenix crown on her head, a blue shirt over her head, and a pearl and jade robe hanging in front of her. She looked extravagant.

It's just that his eyes are red and red, and it can be seen that he has just cried.

The woman walked all the way, and all the maids and servants in the Cining Palace saluted, but the woman went straight to the Empress Dowager Sun, saluted, and said.

"Mother, how is the situation outside?"

Empress Dowager Sun frowned, feeling dissatisfied for a while, and said to the woman: "The emperor is not dead yet, you are so flustered, what does it look like!"

The woman in front of her is the current Lord of the Six Palaces, Queen Qian.

Even if they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

For the current Lord of the Six Palaces, the Empress Dowager Sun didn't think much of it.

First, it was Queen Qian who had been married for several years, and there was no movement in her stomach.

Second, the Queen Mother Sun herself has been ups and downs in the palace for many years, relying on her fierce means to be stable.

However, this Qian's temperament is weak, and he does not behave like the lord of the six palaces in everything.

If it wasn't for the emperor still pampering her, the concubines in the harem would have turned upside down long ago.

In ordinary days, the Queen Mother Sun's attitude towards her was not very good.

Now, she has just suffered a belly in Benren Hall, and her tone is naturally more severe.

Qian Shi himself had been worried about her husband's safety all night.

I heard that the Empress Dowager and the ministers of the previous dynasty had finished discussing, and she hurried over without caring about the attitude of the Empress Dowager towards her.

As a result, as soon as he said a word, he was scolded like this.

I couldn't help but feel wronged and anxious.

While kneeling down to plead guilty, the tears couldn't help falling on the other side.

Empress Dowager Sun had a headache.

Cry, cry, cry...you know how to cry!
God knows where so many tears come from, and what the emperor sees in her.

She usually blocks everything for her, but now that something happens, she can't do anything but cry!

Empress Dowager Sun was sulking and did not speak.

Qian shi knelt beside him, sobbing lowly.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room became more and more awkward, Li Yongchang and Jin Ying, who were serving on the side, looked at each other.

Finally, Li Yongchang stepped forward boldly.

"The queen mother, please calm down. The queen mother is also worried about the safety of the emperor, so she lost her manners for a while. Don't worry about the queen mother."

After saying that, he looked up at Empress Dowager Sun's expression. Seeing that her expression was a little slower, Li Yongchang hurriedly gave Jin Ying a wink.

Jin Ying understood and also stood up and said.

"Don't worry, Empress, the elders of the court have already sent envoys to deliver what the emperor asked for. For a while, the emperor should not be in any danger."

"At this time, you need to work together with the Empress Dowager to give the emperor a good view of the palace. You have to be energetic and take care of the harem, so as to help the emperor."

The two persuaded from both ends, and the atmosphere in the hall was barely calmed down.

Qian Shi gradually stopped his sadness.

Although Empress Dowager Sun was still dissatisfied, she also knew that this time was not the time to care about Qian Shi, so she was not angry.

"Get up, I know you're worried about the emperor, but it's useless to worry about it."

"Jin Ying is right, show the bearing of the master of your six palaces, and leave the palace gate of the Cining Palace, you have to be the emperor and still be good, and take care of the six palaces up and down to the Ai family, understand? "

Empress Qian got up, responded aggrievedly, and said after thinking for a while.

"Mother, I was in a hurry yesterday, and I only prepared gold and silver python clothes. This morning, the minister and concubine remembered that it was getting colder, and the emperor was in the hands of the thief. The stove and charcoal fire, etc., would the mother ask the envoy to bring it to the emperor?"

Empress Dowager Sun nodded, her heart became more and more impatient, and Ben wanted to ask her again, what should be paid attention to in managing the harem these days.

But seeing her wholeheartedly attached to the captured emperor, she was too lazy to say much.

He waved his hand and said, "You can do these little things by yourself. Go back, if there is news, the Aijia will send someone to let you know."

Just after sending the Qian Shi, there was another internal servant from outside, saying.

"The Empress Dowager, Concubine Wu Xian asks to see you."

Wu's?

Empress Dowager Sun recalled that in the hall today, although Zhu Qiyu looked weak, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had the courage to advance and retreat.

Then think about his own son who disregarded dissuasion, insisted on personal expedition, and finally got himself into trouble with his rival.

This comparison made her so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood.

But everyone came, and they couldn't be seen.

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand.

"Let her in."

Wu's body is strong and strong. Even though it is late autumn now, she is still in single clothes, and with a close-fitting female official, she enters the Cining Palace and salutes the Empress Dowager Sun earnestly.

"I have seen the Empress Dowager."

"Get up."

With fire in her heart, Empress Dowager Sun didn't bother to make excuses, so she spoke.

"You stay in Jingyang Palace all the time, and don't like to go out. Why are you free today and come to Ai's house?"

The implication is that the old lady is in a bad mood, and if there is nothing to do, get out of here.

Wu's face was calm, still with a faint smile, as if the anger was not directed at her.

"To be honest with the empress dowager, the concubine is here for Brother Yu."

"King Yu?"

Empress Dowager Sun frowned.

This woman is really a pot that can't be opened and lifted.

However, such a Bodhisattva-like appearance of indifference to the world is annoying.

"What happened to King Yu?"

Wu Shi got up and blessed the road.

"Brother Qian Eryu came over and said that the holy car was attacked in Tumu Fort, and there was no one in the capital to call the shots. The queen mother intends to let him rule the government. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

These few words, like a knife, stabbed right into the heart of Empress Dowager Sun.

What is the attack on the holy car, and no one in the capital calls the shots?
Can't you beg him to beg Wang Bingzheng from your own family?
If it wasn't for the insistence of the foreign ministers, he would have wished that Zhu Qiyu would never dangle in front of her.

"So what?"

The anger in the heart rushed to the top of the head, and the Queen Mother Sun's tone became more and more cold, with a faint reprimand.

"This is a major matter of state affairs. As a woman in the palace, do you want to be involved in politics?"

In the face of Empress Dowager Sun's accusation, Mrs Wu remained calm, and said with a slight smile on her face.

"The empress dowager has misunderstood. According to the ancestral system, it is customary for the harem to not interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Well, another knife.

There is a saying "the harem convention shall not interfere in politics".

As Empress Dowager Sun, who had just hosted an informal court meeting, she felt that she was being ridiculed.

But she picked it up by herself, so it's not good to blame anything on this point.

Empress Dowager Sun only felt that a mouthful of old blood was stuck in her chest, neither up nor down.

"It's just that now the emperor has fallen into the enemy's hands, and Brother Yu is not in good health. You know, he just fell ill and was in a coma for a few days and nights. Brother is tired and sick, isn’t the line of the late emperor at risk?”

Ignoring Empress Dowager Sun's dark face like the bottom of a pot, Wu continued to speak calmly.

"My concubine only has this son, and I absolutely don't want him to make a mistake, so I came here to ask you for mercy, save him from this errand, and go back to the house to take good care of him. The important affairs of state affairs include the old man and the empress dowager of the previous dynasty. You are in control."

Empress Dowager Sun clenched the lid of the teacup in her hand tightly, and her body was trembling slightly.

The air pressure in the entire Cining Palace was extremely low.

The palace maids serving on the side all lowered their heads, looked at their noses and hearts, and did not dare to make a sound.

With a clever mind, she quietly took a few steps away from the Empress Dowager, and at the same time broke a cold sweat for Concubine Wu Xian.

The sun is really coming out from the west today. Concubine Wu Xian, who has always had no presence in the palace, dares to contradict the queen mother like this.

Listen to what is being said?

What is "...I only have this one son, I don't want him to make a mistake..."

Does the co-author of the empress dowager have only one son?
King Yu is the eyeball of Concubine Wu Xian, and the emperor was also raised by the empress dowager in the palm of her hand.

Especially at this time, the emperor is being held hostage by thieves, let alone a mistake, he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

This Concubine Wu Xian, I'm afraid she's not here to add to the block, right?

Besides, what is meant by "...If Brother Yu is tired and sick, wouldn't the lineage of the late emperor be at risk..."

The first emperor is only the emperor and the two sons of King Yu who are not fake.

But the emperor was only captured, not dead. Concubine Wu Xian's words were beyond words. It's strange that the empress dowager was not so angry that she threw the cup!
This group of palace people can hear the meaning, how can the Queen Mother Sun not hear it?

In particular, when Mr. Wu said these words, his face was as calm as ever, and he didn't look worried at all.

Looking at the Queen Mother Sun, she felt more and more that this woman was disgusting!

She can see it!
This woman is simply here to mock her.

He mocked her for giving birth to a useless son, and she acted recklessly and recklessly, almost killing her own life.

They ridiculed her that she had worked so hard for so many years, but in the end she still had to rely on their mother and son.

Taunting her for suppressing their mother and son for so long, and finally handing over the regent power obediently.

She really looked away.

How can this woman be gentle and deceitful, she clearly came to attack her as soon as she gained power!

Empress Dowager Sun sat on the couch, her face ashen.

She was a teenage girl, and she was favored by the six palaces, and she has been honored and envied all her life.

Now, it was just that his son lost his hand and was taken advantage of, and all the cats and dogs jumped out.

A famous and powerless idle prince, a secluded harem, a mediocre former queen concubine.

Want to see her jokes?

dream!

Empress Dowager Sun's brows furrowed tightly. Empress Dowager Sun stared at Wu's stubbornly, and she was about to have a seizure.

However, Jin Ying, who was on the side, took the lead and stood up and said.

"Concubine Xian, the empress dowager has just said that this is a state matter, and it is the result of the discussion between the empress dowager and the elders of the previous dynasty. As a royal clan, Prince Yu is the time to be loyal to the country, so why is it a pity? "

"If Niangniang is worried about Prince Yun's body, the Empress Dowager will send an imperial physician to accompany Prince Yun, and all the precious medicinal materials in the palace can be used by Prince Yun."

Empress Dowager Sun's face was gloomy, and when she came to her mouth, she stifled it back abruptly.

Glancing at Jin Ying, he saw that the other party lowered his head and said.

"The Empress Dowager, after discussing matters in Benren Hall for so long today, I think you are tired. Why don't you let the concubine Xian go back first?"

Empress Dowager Sun's face changed again and again, and finally suppressed the anger in her heart, said.

"Today's Ai's family is exhausted, Concubine Xian, go back!"

Wu shi still had a calm expression on his face, as if he hadn't noticed the aura of the coming storm just now.

Hearing this, he sighed and said.

"Since that's the case, then the concubine will not disturb the queen mother. There are so many affairs in Beijing recently. The lady should take good care of her body. You are the support of the court and the public, and you must not take it lightly."

Having said that, he got up and left.

As soon as Mrs Wu walked out of the gate of Cining Palace, she heard a crisp sound of "crackling" and shook her head involuntarily.

It seems that the eunuch in charge of the inner warehouse is afraid that it will be embarrassing.

With so many precious porcelain ornaments, it's hard to get them out of the inner warehouse for a while...
