The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Because Emperor Wu of Zhou loved and indulged Concubine Rong too much, he was often played by the censors.However, he didn't take it to heart and still doted on Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong also knew well, relying on the favor of Emperor Wu of Zhou, she did not do anything too extreme.The only thing I don't respect is Empress Xie.

When the first queen was alive, Concubine Rong was also very favored, but she dared not rely on Emperor Wu of Zhou's love for her and disrespect the first queen.

Emperor Wu of Zhou respected the former empress very much, concubine Rong and the others would not dare to be rude to the former empress.Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't respect Empress Xie very much, at least not as much as Empress Xie.However, there is still some politeness.

I don't have that much respect for Empress Xie, not because Empress Xie is the successor, but because of the government of Zhen Guo.

Concubine Rong knew what Emperor Wu of Zhou thought about Empress Xie and Duke Zhenguo's mansion, so she dared to confront Empress Xie blatantly.As long as she doesn't make too much noise, Emperor Wu of Zhou will turn a blind eye.

"My palace has already rewarded several beauties to Daiwang's mansion, hoping that they can give birth to offspring for Daiwang, so that the emperor and this palace can rest assured." Empress Xie always believed that the reason why Concubine Rong dared to act presumptuously in front of her was because Emperor Wu of Zhou favored her. for her sake.She has always felt that Concubine Rong is a vixen, and Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty has been pampering her for 20 years.

"Concubine Rong didn't blame you. As the biological mother of the acting king, you are so indifferent to his heirs." Empress Xie looked at Concubine Rong full of condemnation, "Back then, the prince and concubine got married three times. In the next month, the Crown Princess was pregnant. The Dai Wang and the Dai Wang Concubine have been married for two years, and there is no good news so far."

Concubine Rong looked at Empress Xie coldly: "Has the empress finished speaking the emperor's oral order?" She unceremoniously ordered the guests to chase away, "It is finished, you can go."

Being chased away by Concubine Rong, Empress Xie was not angry, she still had a gentle and decent smile on her face: "If the acting king still can't give birth to a grandson for the emperor, Concubine Rong can ask me, and I can send the Xie family The unique recipe for childbirth is given to you."

Concubine Rong pointed to the gate of Yongxin Palace, and said to Empress Xie with a gloomy and cold face, "Get lost!"

"Concubine Rong, you are too presumptuous..."

Before Jiang Chuan finished speaking, Concubine Rong slapped her face severely.

"Concubine Rong!" Empress Xie scolded.

Concubine Rong took the towel from Jin Mei's hand, wiped her hands carefully, and then turned back to the main hall.As for Empress Xie, she didn't bother to give her another look.

Jin Mei politely said to Empress Xie: "Empress, please."

Empress Xie glared at Concubine Rong viciously, then raised her hand and slapped Jin Mei hard twice.Then he supported Jiang Chuan's hand and left Yongxin Palace.

Before leaving, Empress Xie stopped and said loudly on purpose: "Next month is my sister's death day, Concubine Rong, don't forget to copy Buddhist scriptures for my sister."

When Rong Guifei, who had just returned to the main hall, heard this, her expression changed instantly.The indifference to Empress Xie before was replaced by jealousy.

Concubine Rong was jealous of the first queen.However, she dared not hate.

She knew the position of the late empress in the heart of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and she never dared to show her jealousy towards the late empress in front of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

In fact, she still has some admiration for the first queen.She saw everything that the former empress did for Emperor Wu of Zhou.To be honest, she can't do what the first queen did.

When the first empress was alive, not only the first emperor and the empress dowager liked her, but even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu dynasty respected her.Even the common people praised her as the "virtuous queen".Also, when the first empress passed away, Emperor Wu of Zhou stopped court for three days.This did not exist in the previous dynasties, or even in the previous dynasties.

Concubine Rong knew in her heart that if she disappeared in the future, Emperor Wu of Zhou would never stop the court for her.

"Your Majesty, Empress Madam, she..." Jin Mei's face was swollen from the beating, which shows how hard Empress Xie exerted herself.

Seeing Jinmei's red and swollen face, Concubine Rong comforted her and said, "I've wronged you, hurry up and rub it with medicine." Compared with the previous queens, the empress was much worse in terms of character and means.Obviously the queen is the daughter of the first wife, but she doesn't have the bearing of the first daughter of the powerful family at all.Although the first queen was a concubine, she had the demeanor of a mother who respected the world.

Jin Mei hurriedly retreated.After a while, he returned to Rong Guifei's side.Seeing Concubine Rong's uneasy look, she asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

"Do you think cousin loves Xie Wan?" This has always been a thorn in Concubine Rong's heart.She dared not ask Emperor Wu of Zhou.She was afraid of getting the answer she least wanted to hear from Emperor Zhou Wu.

"Your Majesty, the emperor only respects the former empress, not love." Jin Mei said very definitely, "The emperor only loves you."

"Really, if my cousin doesn't love her, why did he give up for three days?" A woman like the former queen is not only liked by men, but even women can't help but like her. "When she was sick, my cousin stayed by her bedside and fed her medicine himself..."

"My cousin has done many things for her, but my cousin has not done these things for me. In my cousin's heart, she is still very important."

"Your Majesty, no matter how important it is, it's not as important as you." Jin Mei persuaded, "Why are you arguing with a dead man?"

"I'm just..." She was just jealous and unwilling.

The first queen is dead, the emperor will not do those things for her again, but the emperor will never forget the first queen in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you are now the Emperor's favorite concubine." Seeing the fragility in Concubine Rong's eyes, Jin Mei reached out to hold Concubine Rong's hands and comforted her, "You will be the Emperor's wife in a short time. In the Emperor's heart , no one is as important as you."

Jin Mei's words made Concubine Rong feel better.She smiled slightly: "Every year on her death day, in my heart..."

"Niang Niang, the emperor loves you so much, so don't think too much." Jin Mei said, "If the emperor knows that you are thinking wildly and doubts his love for you, the emperor will definitely be angry."

"You're right." Concubine Rong took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "From tomorrow, I will take a shower and fast for three days."

Although she is full of jealousy towards the former empress, every year on the anniversary of the late empress's death, Concubine Rong will honestly copy Buddhist scriptures without pretending to be someone else.

She knew in her heart that if she didn't take care to copy Buddhist scriptures for the former queen, Emperor Wu of Zhou would definitely be upset.

Concubine De and the others also copied it with their own hands, and they dare not let others copy it for them.Even if they are very reluctant to copy, they have to copy unless they want to be rejected by Emperor Wu of Zhou.

When Empress Xie returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she asked Jiang Chuan to do some things.

Now she can't wait until the death day of her good sister arrives.

In Wende Hall, Zhao Yao was anxiously waiting for school to finish.He kept staring at the hourglass in front of him, and when the hourglass ran out, it was noon.

Seeing the hourglass finished, Zhao Yao's eyes lit up, and then a big smile appeared on his small face.

Mr. Xiao closed the book in his hand and left the school.

Seeing that Mr. Xiao left, Zhao Yao stood up abruptly, grabbed his schoolbag, and quickly said to the Eighth Prince and the Fourth Prince: "Fourth Brother, Mynah, I'm leaving first." disappear before my eyes.

The eighth and fourth princes hadn't had time to talk to him, and by the time they realized it, Zhao Yao had long since disappeared.

Seeing Zhao Yao running out, Tong Xi hurriedly followed: "Your Highness, slow down and be careful not to fall."

Zhao Yao stopped after running for a while, looked at Tong Xi, and asked, "How is Tong An?"

"He is very honest, and he didn't ask curiously when he saw the cats and dogs in the Lenggong." When Zhao Yao was studying in the Wende Palace, Tong Xi went to the Lenggong to visit Tong An. "He has many injuries on his body, and he was beaten in many places." His flesh and blood were torn apart, yet he could bear it and not say anything."

"Your Highness, didn't you see that his body is covered with welts, none of which are good..." Tong Xi said with red eyes, and said angrily, "The Third Highness is really not a human..."

"Let him take a good rest for a few days first, and make arrangements after his injuries recover."

"Your Highness, it's a good thing you foresaw that Tong An was wounded and would have a fever. Otherwise, he would have kept it secret." Tong Xi said, "The servant rubbed the medicine on him and gave him the medicine. He's dead, hello Not long after the medicine was finished, his fever subsided."

"Because he wants to live."

"Your Highness, Tong An told the servants that the Third Highness liked to abuse the people who served him since he was a child, and he killed many eunuchs and maids who served him." No one cared about the death of eunuchs and maids in the palace.For most of the masters, if you die, you die, there is nothing to regret. "The Third Highness especially likes to whip good-looking eunuchs and court ladies."

After Zhao Yao heard this, he frowned and said, "Third brother is talking about the human face and animal heart."

"Your Highness..."

Just as Tongxi was about to say something, Laiyi flew over with his brothers.

Laiyi flew onto Zhao Yao's shoulder, and chirped to him: 【Yaoyao, they are coming back. 】
