Chen Palace

Chapter 79
(Although it is a few minutes late, but this is indeed for the 18th, but unfortunately, after 0:[-]~`Tears, please forgive me)

The queen smiled gracefully: "It's strange, I didn't see her in the past few days, and I was wondering, isn't this Keke's coming?"

She glanced at the Queen Mother, and said vaguely: "Sister Zhou's news is so fast..."

The Empress Dowager seemed to turn a deaf ear to it, she pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Such a great victory is also a joyful event for the whole world...Please sit down in the front hall for a while, Ye Er, please send people to invite all the ministers to enter the palace. Announce the good news in public!"

Aunt Ye took the order and went away, while the queen watched her words and expressions, and saw that the queen mother seemed to have other things on her mind, holding the cup tightly with her snow-white palm holding the teacup.

"Mother...what's the matter with you?"

At this time, there were only two people left alone in the hall, the queen approached, patted her shoulder lightly for her, and asked softly.

"I'm thinking……"

The queen mother stared at the picture of Magu's birthday offering on the rim of the cup thoughtfully, and said slowly: "The emperor won this victory, and from now on, I will never listen to my old lady's nonsense!"

The queen looked at her gloomy and aging expression, her heart was both bitter and sweet, as if she had broken a five-flavored pot, and when she thought about herself again, her heart sank, and she forced a smile and said: "How could it be, Your Majesty, he is not like this! "
The queen mother sneered slightly: "The emperor is the son of heaven, and in that supreme position, he would not want anyone to tell him what to do. What's more, your uncle made a heinous mistake, and the handle is in his hands—— If he is not dead, if he is still like this, after a hundred years from me, the end of the Lin family will be known!"

The queen thought of the eagle-like eyes of her uncle whom she had never seen before, and she was horrified, her complexion turned pale.

"From now on, you will sit on this jade throne instead of me, and you will always face this double torment—the emperor is your husband, and King Xiang is your blood relative. The battle between men is an endless battle in this world." The way of heaven, and we women are always caught in it..."

The Empress Dowager seemed a little dejected, deep sorrow flashed in her eyes, but in the next moment, she was shining again, her hand was holding the cup tightly, as if firmly grasping the supreme authority in nothingness——

"Only a woman who can balance and surpass the two can be regarded as the real master of the harem!"

Her voice was plain and filled with thrilling agitation and pride. The queen listened quietly. Apart from jealousy, there was only a sense of shame. She bit her lip, forced a gentle smile, and said respectfully: "The queen mother You are reminding me, Shujing wrote it down!"

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, sighed and wanted to say something, but Aunt Ye came forward to report: "Several cabinet ministers came to the front court early, and they have been invited to come here in accordance with the imperial edict."

"Ask them to serve tea in the front hall. The queen and I will be here soon."

The Empress Dowager said gracefully, after straightening her forehead and looking at the mirror, she still felt that there was something dissatisfied. She took out a hundred-treasure phoenix fan hairpin from the box, and licked it back into the bun. Her face was reflected as bright and beautiful as the moon, adding to her natural majesty.

The queen watched from the side, feeling sore in her heart, she hurriedly restrained herself, stepped forward to help the queen mother, and slowed down her pace thoughtfully.

In the front hall, several cabinet ministers had already restrained their faces and waited respectfully. There was a seat on the right side, which was hazyly divided by shark bead gauze. Concubine Zhou was sitting in it, her expression and face could not be seen clearly.

There is also the same gauze curtain on the upper left side, which is obviously prepared for the queen.

The Empress Dowager sat down on the jade seat in the middle, looked around at the crowd, with a smile on her face, and read Zhou Jun's memorial to her attendants, the hall was gradually filled with joy.

All the ministers followed the transcript urgently transcribed by the palace servants, and read it hastily, their mouths were full of praises for the depth and breadth of the holiness.

Concubine Zhou stretched out a hand from the gauze curtain, took the copy, read it at a glance, opened the gauze curtain, looked at the queen mother and asked: "My lady, I don't know something—why is my father going to the palace?" This memorial to the great victory?"

Seeing that she saw the mystery at a glance, the Empress Dowager smiled more sublimely and kindly. She pondered slightly and said, "It is said in the memorial that the emperor was injured..."

Concubine Zhou Guifei heard her flickering words, and was about to ask again, when the Empress Dowager continued: "The emperor is injured, although he is fine, I always feel uneasy, it is better for the envoy Xuan to come and ask."

The envoy was proclaimed to the front of the hall again, he rested for a while, his complexion was slightly rosy, and he looked even more handsome and dignified.

The queen mother pinched the Buddhist beads on her wrist and asked, "How is the emperor's injury?"

The young man knelt down on one knee, and his voice was clear and fearless: "Your Majesty took the lead in fighting the Tatars. Although he won a big victory, he fell into the Liangchuan by accident."

"If you drown in the river, you will only choke on the water, but in the memorial of the general, there is a diagnosis by the accompanying physician, but it says that the emperor has more than a dozen wounds on his body, and his arms are still the most important." What's the reason for this?"

The queen mother did not relax, and continued to ask questions.

The young man shook his head: "This is a military secret, the general will never know."

The queen mother sneered, and just said: "You can be regarded as the general's confidant...", then her chest felt tight for a while, and she couldn't speak. Slowed down.

The Empress Dowager asked the maid to help her beat her back. After the oppression in her chest disappeared, she continued: "The emperor went through such a catastrophe in the army. Does General Zhou know nothing about it? Does he take the emperor's safety as a trifling matter?!"

Her last sentence, although her tone was not heavy, already brought out a reprimand, the young general's complexion was pale, so he could only keep silent.

In the stalemate, only the veil was relaxed, and Concubine Zhou ignored everyone's surprised eyes and looked this way deeply.

As soon as her eyes came into contact with the young general, they became entangled and couldn't bear to separate.

All the people in the palace, military and state affairs, disappeared at this moment. They stared at each other, deeply immersed in each other's eyes, and could almost hear each other's heartbeat.

The boy and girl who were childhood sweethearts who laughed each other day and night, finally meet today after many years.

So... is that you?

A gust of cool wind blows, the branches and leaves in the courtyard are swaying, and the petals are fluttering in front of the window, like a fairy, and finally fall into the dust——

They stared at each other, the longing and sweet dreams in their eyes, in the next moment, like petals falling, fireworks extinguished, and a gust of wind blew past, leaving no trace.
