What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 207 The Messenger Visits

During the New Year of Fuxi's second year, the harem was considered calm, and the court hall was even more lively.

According to the usual practice, every time an emperor ascended the throne in the Dasheng Dynasty, the surrounding foreign and small countries would send envoys to congratulate him.

One emperor and one courtier.

This is also the meaning of continuing the establishment of diplomatic relations from generation to generation.

After New Year's Eve, foreigners arrived in the capital one after another. Those from the north were often tall and strong, with all kinds of luxurious furs wrapped around their bodies and heads.

The ones from the south are thin and dark-skinned, and they are all dressed in the clothes of the Dasheng Dynasty. It looks like the clothes they bought when the weather was cold along the way.

All of a sudden, the streets of the capital were bustling with people coming and going, and there were all kinds of people.

On the first day of the lunar new year, the emperor had hosted a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to entertain all the officials. The meaning was very clear, that is, no matter what, these foreigners must be well entertained.

"It's true that they are far away and powerful, but it's not worthwhile to provoke them. It's best not to violate the river water. It would be better if they can further open up trade."

When the first emperor was in power, these foreign and small countries were afraid of the prestige of the great and prosperous dynasty, and dared not offend at will.

Later, the Dasheng Dynasty gradually declined, and these small foreign countries began to move around, frequently harassing the border of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Grab a village today, and kill a few defenders tomorrow.

It's not worth it to make a big mess, and if you leave it alone, you feel that Da Shengchao is afraid of them.

It's really difficult.

Until now, Xie Chenyu didn't dare to say that he would be able to recover them, so he could only take one step at a time.

Beginning of the second year of junior high school.

Xie Chenyu held a flowing water banquet in Qianqing Palace, specially to receive envoys who came to Beijing from thousands of miles away.

Whenever an envoy from a foreign country came, he would hold a banquet first, and then lead him to the post house to entertain him. If the post house could not accommodate him, he would temporarily arrange it in an inn.

For a while, I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground.

The matter of Lu Chen's transfer was shelved for the time being, the scramble for favor in the harem, and the grievances and grievances of the past, everything was suspended.

-

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Longevity Palace suddenly reported that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill.

Wang Xiangjun was looking at a box of gems, and directed Lufu to send a message to Si Zhensi.

"This one should be polished, wrapped with gold thread and inlaid on the gold hairpin. That yellow jadeite is not bad. Carve a piece of dragon and phoenix jade pendant. When I return, I will have a piece with the emperor."

She picked up another rough Nanhong stone.

Inside the old leather shell is a delicate and ruddy southern red agate, reflecting the sun, showing a true red like the setting sun of blood.

Such a large piece of rough stone, no one deserves to own it except the mother of a country, she smiled with satisfaction.

"Then let's turn the car into pearls. I think it's best to reward Sister Liu for such a good thing."

One hundred and eight, it is a reward for her sincerity in worshiping Buddha.

She wished that all the women in the entire harem would worship the Buddha and let the emperor return.

Knowing that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, she frowned suddenly and threw the stone into the box.

"I'm seriously ill again, what else do you want?"

"Lin Guiren is now the emperor's heart and soul, so I won't give her blood in exchange for her life anymore."

The tone is yin and yang.

She still ordered Lufu to dress her up, and was impatient during the whole process.

After so many years of hypocrisy, the queen mother has also become the emperor, and the emperor has also ascended the throne, but it doesn't help much.

"Not to mention my palace and the emperor, she can't talk at all, she only thinks about her precious daughter"

As long as one thinks of the heroic concubine Zheng, the prince of the good country, of Xie Jingzhi's face full of happiness, and of their pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

She can't help but wonder whether she would have had a different happy life if she had married Mr. Zheng, who was not inferior to Lu Chen.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

All of this belonged to Xie Jingzhi and had nothing to do with her, Wang Xiangjun.

The sharp nails were tearing at the bright yellow queen's court dress, her chest heaved and it took a long time to suppress it.

"Let's go and see the Queen Mother"

In the Longevity Palace, the Empress Dowager is indeed not well.

When the queen arrived, everyone in the harem was present, kneeling in the outer room one by one according to their rank.

Inside, the imperial physician was taking the empress dowager's pulse, and Xie Jingzhi could vaguely be heard sobbing softly.

It seems to be asking about the condition, and it seems to be begging the doctor.

Wang Xiangjun wanted to laugh, but quickly suppressed his smile, and went in with a look that I was really heartbroken.

The imperial physician has received the diagnosis and treatment package and is explaining the precautions.

"Be sure to rest, don't get angry, it's best to see people less"

"If you can rest quietly for the first half of the year, you are expected to recover"

Xie Jingzhi thanked each mouthful.

After the imperial doctor was sent away, apart from the queen mother, there were only the daughter and daughter-in-law of the direct relatives in the inner room, one was her child, the other was the brother's child, and both of them were watched to grow up.

The queen mother raised her hand weakly, beckoning the two to come forward.

"Zhi'er, you have to be good, don't be self-willed, listen to your emperor brother"

"You must be virtuous, take good care of your husband and children, and let the son-in-law contribute to my prosperity"

"The two children must be brought up well, and they are often brought into the palace to meet the emperor"

These words are from the heart.

Not to mention Xie Jingzhi, even Wang Xiangjun wanted to cry when he heard it, it really is a mother-daughter bond.

Thinking of my own mother, who grew up so old, except blindly belittling herself, and never said a single good word, it was another stab in my heart.

How can I share any good deeds with others.

The Queen Mother turned to Wang Xiangjun again, took her hand tremblingly, and only confessed one sentence.

"Dress up the emperor well, arrange the draft next year, and be sure to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family"

Wang Xiangjun: "..."

Daughter-in-law and daughter are indeed different.

She didn't even teach herself a word about husband and son, maybe in her heart, her daughter-in-law is not worthy to be her daughter-in-law at all.

Ha ha.

On the surface, he still responded respectfully.

The Empress Dowager ignored it, and told them not to go too far, and ordered that they were not allowed to come to the Longevity Palace for anything.

Xie Jingzhi burst into tears.

"Why? How could my daughter not come? How could you say that, Queen Mother?"

The queen mother smiled bitterly: "For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, you are all busy."

"Xiang Jun, what happened to Lin's child, let her stay later, I have something to tell her"

Wang Xiangjun is so depressed.

Say it in front of the eldest wife, I value your little concubine very much, let her come and we can talk when you have time"

This feeling is more uncomfortable than Yue Zu acting as a substitute.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, she can only accept it, and she dare not refuse to obey the Queen Mother's order.

Everyone left, only Lin Ximeng stayed.

She straightened up and walked into the inner room step by step, stopped a few steps away from the Queen Mother, and saluted respectfully.

"I don't know what orders the Empress Dowager has?"

This is the first time the two have met since the Queen Mother failed to intercede last time.

This time the Queen Mother was obviously much more sober.

Without beating around the bush, she tremblingly took out an exquisite box from under the pillow and handed it to Lin Ximeng herself.

"What are you doing, ma'am?"

Lin Ximeng withdrew her hand.

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered.

"This is the body of the Ai family in this life. It has been divided into two parts, one for the Wang family and one for you. It can be regarded as an apology from the Ai family. In fact, back then..."

A violent cough interrupted the Queen Mother's words.

She looked at Lin Ximeng with tears in her eyes.

"Actually, back then, the crown prince that the late emperor valued was the sixth son, and the crown princess was you."
