The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 334
Today the eldest princess naturally also came to the palace banquet, but after the palace banquet ended, she did not return to the mansion, but was left in the palace by the emperor's younger brother.

Emperor Ming was slightly drunk, and finally invited the eldest sister to his bedroom. He smiled and joked with the eldest princess: "Since the emperor reconciled with her brother-in-law, she really forgot about my younger brother. It is rare that you come into the palace today. Simply stay for a day, and have the right to accompany my younger brother."

Emperor Ming lost his mother since he was a child, and he liked to cling to his elder sister since he was a child. Now he is nearly fifty years old, and he still looks like this.

The eldest princess glared at her younger brother, sighed slightly, and replied bluntly: "Now your palace is non-stop all day long, I don't want to interfere."

Emperor Ming heard what the eldest princess said, and said helplessly: "It's just that they are thinking about my dragon chair, let them make trouble."

The eldest princess said: "Now that the conflict between the two parties in the court has reached the point where fire and water cannot be tolerated, you don't want to think of a way?"

Emperor Ming sighed and said, "Elder Sister also knows that Bi'er has such a temperament that he can't be an emperor at all. If I hand over this country and the community to him, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

The eldest princess replied: "I know you have always favored Jin'er, but I don't think that child is suitable for an emperor."

Hearing what the eldest princess said, Emperor Ming couldn't help but want to speak well for Concubine Meng Gui and King Jin, but before he could speak, the eldest princess rushed to say: "It's the so-called love of the house and Wu, you like that Meng family with all your heart, naturally it's because of seeing I don't know what's wrong with her and the King Jin she gave birth to."

Emperor Ming hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, I know you have always been brooding about A Xian, but Meng Shi."

The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to mention that Meng family, so don't you bother."

As she said that, she looked at Emperor Ming and talked about the business: "Now this Daqi is poor and weak, and the life of the common people is worsening day by day. You should do something as an emperor. I don't ask you, sister!" You can work hard to govern like your grandfather and father, but you should always fulfill the responsibility of an emperor for the sake of the common people in the world."

When Emperor Ming heard this, he leaned his head on the back of the chair, sighed and said: "These years there have been many natural disasters, and I have even emptied the national treasury in order to relieve the victims. This is God's temper. What can I do?" ?”

"Brother!" the eldest princess shouted angrily.

Seeing that his sister was in a hurry, Emperor Ming was worried that he would be scolded again, so he hurriedly said, "Don't be upset, elder sister. After the new year, I will go to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens and ancestors, and pray for good weather next year."

Just as he was talking, the maid who served outside came in and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine." As he spoke, he respectfully offered two pills.

Emperor Ming took the pill and put it in his mouth, then took it with warm water.

The eldest princess asked: "Are you feeling unwell? What kind of medicine are you taking?"

Emperor Ming swallowed the pill and said with a smile: "I am in good health, so I don't feel any discomfort. To tell the truth to my elder sister, this is the medicine of immortality that I am looking for and practiced for me by an outsider."

When the eldest princess heard this, she said anxiously: "Where did the extraterrestrial masters come from? Could it be those stinky Taoist priests that the Meng family sent you again?"

Emperor Ming replied: "Eldest sister, don't worry, those Taoist priests are really high-spirited people, they can ask the gods, since I took the elixir made by them, I am really invulnerable to all diseases, and my muscles and bones are relaxed. .”

Seeing that Emperor Ming was so confused and unreasonable, the eldest princess persuaded: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. How can there be anyone who can go against the sky? There are not a few emperors who have sought the law of longevity in the past dynasties, and there are a few who can die well."

The eldest princess looked at Emperor Ming earnestly: "Brother, just follow Eldest Sister's persuasion and drive those Taoist priests out of the palace, and don't listen to their nonsense anymore, and stop being obsessed with it."

The eldest princess painstakingly persuaded her, but she was immersed in the gentle and rich village all her life, so how could the elderly Ming emperor listen to her.

In the end, the two siblings broke up again.

After the eldest princess left Emperor Ming's bedroom and returned to her Chaolu hall, the eldest princess ordered: "No matter who comes to pay a visit, I will not be seen by the palace."

As expected, the eldest princess had just been bathed by the maids, and Ju Nai murmured, "Princess Meng Guifei came over while you were taking a bath. As soon as Concubine Meng left, Empress Cao also came to Chaolu Hall in person, and after being turned away, she also left behind a lot of things."

The eldest princess looked pale, waved her hands and said: "Tomorrow, I will order people to send all the things back."

Nanny Ju glanced at the face of the eldest princess, and explained: "The battle for the throne in the past is not tragic. When you assisted His Majesty to ascend the throne, it was more thrilling than it is now. Now the court is not enough. For worry."

The Eldest Princess said nothing. She leaned on the bed and looked around at the Chaolu Palace where she had been living before her descent. It used to be normal, but the eldest princess knew in her heart that under the still brilliant appearance of the Zhao dynasty, it was actually riddled with holes.

The eldest princess is indeed extremely worried, but it is not because of the factional disputes in the court and her brother's intensified absurdity and confusion. What really worries the eldest princess is that there will be no successors in the Zhao dynasty.

Among the three sons of Emperor Ming, the prince is violent and perverse, embarrassing to assume responsibility; the king of Jin is vicious and treacherous, only knows how to play tricks, but he can't provoke the great cause of the society;

Even if the sons of Emperor Ming sat on the throne, the world would be in chaos, and the foundation of the Zhao Dynasty for more than [-] years would destroy the building.

The eldest princess thought for a long time in silence, and then said leisurely: "Mother, what do you think would happen now if Axian is still here?"

The eldest princess has a deep love for the former queen's sister-in-law. The death of Empress Li has always been the pain in the eldest princess's heart.

When Grandma Ju saw that the princess suddenly mentioned the former empress today, she sighed slightly and said, "Empress Li is knowledgeable, reasonable, benevolent, righteous and kind. If she was still here, the current chaotic situation would naturally not exist."

After hearing this, the eldest princess echoed with deep emotion: "Yes, it would be great if Axian was still around."

Seeing that the princess was missing her so much, Mother Ju took the opportunity to ask: "After the new year is the anniversary of the death of the late queen, do you want to remind Your Majesty?"

After hearing this, the eldest princess sneered and said: "If he still remembers Axian in his heart, why does he need me to remind him? Since he has already forgotten it, what's the point of me just dragging him away."

As she said that, the eldest princess looked up at Nanny Ju and said, "This time I will go with the old lady to pay homage to Axian, and call Bo Yue and Shu'er."
