The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 41
In the early morning, in Yongxin Palace, Concubine Rong was changing clothes for Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"Cousin, can Dai Wang really return to Beijing in the afternoon?" In private, Concubine Rong called Emperor Zhou Wu "cousin".She has been following Emperor Wu of Zhou since she was a child, her cousin is long and her cousin is short. "It won't be until night, right?" At night, the gates of the capital city will be closed, and Yun'er will not be able to enter the capital if he wants to.

"I can return to Beijing in the afternoon." Emperor Wu of Zhou gave Concubine Rong an affirmative answer, "It's not yet."

"Before the time comes, then I can rest assured." Concubine Rong Gui frowned as she said, her brows furrowed, her face showed a worried look, "This child always reports good news but not bad news, this time he went to Liangzhou to quell the chaos, the situation is very dangerous, he He must have been injured, and everyone must have kept it from us." She sighed softly, "Oh, I don't know how many times he was injured this time, was he seriously injured?"

"I didn't hear that he was seriously injured."

"Cousin, you used to be like this. Every time you get hurt, you hide it from anyone and don't let anyone know about it. When you come back, your injury will be healed." Concubine Rong pointed to Emperor Zhou Wu's chest and said coquettishly, " If I hadn't discovered the scars on your body, I wouldn't have known you were injured. Dai Wang is the same as you were when you were young."

Emperor Wu of Zhou held Concubine Rong's finger and said with a smile: "It's normal to be injured on the battlefield, and there is nothing to make a fuss about."

Concubine Rong said angrily: "Yes, yes, as long as you don't die, it's just a minor injury."

"That's right." Emperor Wu of Zhou reached out and patted Concubine Rong's buttocks, "The second child is no longer a child, so don't worry too much."

"You father and son have the same virtue." Concubine Rong said helplessly, "When I was young, I was often worried that you would be injured on the battlefield. I didn't expect that when I got older, I would worry about whether my son would be injured on the battlefield."

Emperor Wu of Zhou pinched Concubine Rong's chin and shook it lightly: "You just love to worry too much."

"Women just love to worry. Besides, how can I rest assured that my husband and son are fighting outside?" Concubine Rong stretched her arms around Emperor Zhou Wu's waist, raised her head slightly and said, "Fortunately, I don't have to worry about you now."

Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head and kissed Concubine Rong on the lips: "Okay, it's time for me to go to court, you can sleep for a while."

Concubine Rong stood on her feet and kissed Emperor Wu of Zhou forcefully on the lips: "Cousin, go slowly."

Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled, and left Concubine Rong's bedroom.

After Emperor Wu of Zhou left, Concubine Rong went back to bed and slept in the cage.As for going to Zhaoyang Palace to greet the Queen this morning, she forgot about it.

Today is the fifteenth day, and the concubines are going to greet Empress Xie.The first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when the concubines greet Empress Xie.

It stands to reason that the concubines should greet Queen Xie every day.Empress Xie also hoped that the concubines would come to pay her respects every day, but unfortunately the first empress didn't think so.She felt that it was too troublesome for the concubine to come to pay her respects every morning.Also, it will make the concubines sleep well every day.She felt sorry for the concubines, so she changed the daily greetings to greetings on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

Empress Xie is not good at changing the rules set by the previous empress.If she changed to greet her every day, she would definitely be said to be unvirtuous, not as good as the first queen.

In Kunde Palace, Zhao Yao and the others are having breakfast.

"Today is really a coincidence." Yu Meiren said, "Today is the day to greet the queen, and the acting king will return to Beijing today."

Pan Cairen said: "Concubine Rong Gui is going to fight with the empress again, we have to be careful." Pan Cairen was most afraid of going to pay Empress Xie greetings on the first and fifteenth of every month.Every time I go to pay my respects, there is bound to be swords and swords.

Liang Zhaoyi comforted Pan Cairen and said, "The empress and the imperial concubine don't care about us."

Yu Meiren said, "Let's just sit quietly."

The fifth princess pouted slightly and said, "I don't want to go." Every time she went to greet the empress, she was very nervous and afraid. "Mother, can I not go?"

"I can't." Poppy didn't want her daughter to go either, but she had no choice but to go. "If you don't go, you are disrespecting the empress."

At this time, the fifth princess looked at Zhao Yao very enviously: "It would be great if I were the tenth brother, so I don't have to go to Zhaoyang Palace to pay my respects."

Zhao Yao said unhappily: "There are only benefits left in reading." Then, he suddenly smiled at the fifth princess gloatingly, "Fifth sister, you have to be good."

The fifth princess glared at Zhao Yao fiercely: "Tenth brother, you must study hard, and don't be slapped by the master."

"Although I'm not smart at reading, I'm very obedient and my husband won't hit me."

"Tenth brother, otherwise, I will go to school for you, and you will go to Zhaoyang Palace to pay my respects." The fifth princess thinks her idea is very good.

Zhao Yao directly gave the fifth princess a supercilious look, and attached two words to her: "Dream!"

"Brother Ten, don't you like to study..." Before she finished speaking, her little head was beaten by the poppies.

"Is the Palace of Wende a place you can go to?" Yu Meiren scolded the fifth princess with a straight face, "Such a big man still talks nonsense all day long."

The fifth princess pursed her lips and said, "I'll go, isn't it okay?"

"Fifth sister, fourth sister and the others will definitely not talk about you today." Zhao Yao knew that the fifth princess didn't like to go to Zhaoyang Palace to pay her respects, and there was another important reason, that is, she didn't want to see the fourth sister and the others.

Before the second concubine and fifth sister moved to Kunde Hall, they lived in Yong'an Palace.Yong'an Palace is the palace of Concubine Liang, and the fourth princess is the daughter of Concubine Liang.

When she was young, the fourth princess often bullied the fifth princess and took pleasure in bullying the fifth princess.The fifth princess was scared of being bullied by the fourth princess, and she couldn't help being frightened when she saw the fourth princess.

Later, with the help of Liang Zhaoyi, Yu Meiren brought the five princesses to live in Kunde Hall.

On weekdays, the fifth princess stayed in the Kunde Palace and did not go out.The fourth princess disliked the remoteness of the Kunde Palace, and it was inauspicious to be close to the cold palace, so she would not take the initiative to come to the Kunde Palace to bully the fifth princess.

The fourth princess would only bully the fifth princess on the first and fifteenth day of each month.At other times, the fourth princess couldn't find anyone to bully the fifth princess.

In the past, the fourth princess sent someone to Kunde Hall to ask the fifth princess to go out to play.In fact, he just wanted to bully the fifth princess.However, she was rejected by the fifth princess.With the cowardly character of the fifth princess, she dared not refuse, but Liang Zhaoyi sent Gui Xing to come forward to refuse.

Seeing Liang Zhaoyi supporting the fifth princess, the fourth princess was naturally angry and urged her mother and concubine Liang Zhaoyi to teach Liang Zhaoyi a lesson.Concubine Liang looked down on Liang Zhaoyi, and she was not interested in bullying a little Zhaoyi, but her daughter wanted her to vent her anger, so she had no choice but to act like a concubine and teach Liang Zhaoyi a lesson.

Concubine Liang taught Liang Zhaoyi a lesson, and Emperor Wu of Zhou knew about it.Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Empress Xie to choose two nuns to re-teach the four princesses the rules of etiquette.Not only that, the four princesses were also punished to copy "Nvjie" a thousand times, not missing a word.As for Concubine Liang, although Emperor Wu of Zhou did not directly punish her, he did not go to Yong'an Palace for several months.

Empress Xie took advantage of this incident to severely scold Concubine Liang and her mother and daughter in front of all the concubines and princesses.Concubine De and the others naturally would not miss this opportunity, and unceremoniously insulted Concubine Liang, which made the mother and daughter of Concubine Liang a joke of the entire harem.

From then on, no matter if it was a good concubine or a good concubine, they dared not rely on their status to teach the low-ranking concubines arbitrarily.The princes and princesses did not dare to bully others casually.

After this incident, the fourth princess never bullied the fifth princess again.However, she will verbally bully the fifth princess on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

In the past two years, the fifth princess has become more lively and courageous, but she has a psychological shadow on the fourth princess.In front of the fourth princess, would she feel timid and dare not resist the fourth princess.The fourth princess said a few words about her, and she would not lose a piece of meat, so she let the fourth princess say something about her.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because the main character who greets you today is the Second Emperor Brother. When you go to greet him, all the topics will revolve around the Second Emperor Brother. The Fourth Sister and the others don't care about you."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, the fifth princess felt relieved: "That's good."

Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Zhaoyi reminded her son, "Yaoyao, eat fast, or you will be late for school."

Zhao Yao stopped talking to the fifth princess, and drank the porridge quickly with his head down.After finishing the porridge, he hurried out with Tong Xi.

Walking out of the Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao clearly felt that the atmosphere in the palace was very different today.

"Second Brother is coming back, the palace will immediately become lively." Not only lively, but also festive.

The Liangzhou victory is something to celebrate.When Dai Wang comes back, the palace will naturally be beaming.

"Isn't there going to be a celebration in the palace tonight?" Tong Xi said, "Your Highness, aren't you looking forward to tonight's celebration banquet the most? Are you unhappy?"

"I'm happy." Thinking of eating beef and other delicious food at tonight's dinner, a bright smile appeared on Zhao Yao's face, "I hope it will be at night."

"Your Highness, then you have to eat less at noon today, so that you will have something delicious to eat in the evening."

"you're right."

At this time, in the Chengguang Hall, the ministers were still in the morning court.

The atmosphere of the morning court today is different, and it is also filled with joy.

Although many people don't want to come back on behalf of the king, Emperor Wu of Zhou is happy today, and the ministers dare not spoil Emperor Wu of Zhou's happiness, so they can only be happy with Emperor Wu of Zhou.

The main content of today's morning court is whether to add beads to the king.

After so many days of arguing about adding beads to the acting king, there has been no conclusion.Today, the acting king is coming back, so I have to give him an accurate word on whether or not to add beads to him.

No matter what the ministers said, Emperor Wu of Zhou just refused to give accurate words.This made the ministers wonder what he was thinking.

The emperor's heart needle under the sea.
