Harem Seizure

Chapter 124

The queen mother glanced at Shao Yunyan, then suddenly glanced at her.She sighed dully in her heart, after all, she was still in the back position, and it was even more difficult to do something.

Looking at the graceful and luxurious Shao Yunyan, the concubines couldn't help but secretly sighed in their hearts.Although Shao Yunyan is the successor, compared to Yao Xiya, the empress of Yuan Dynasty, her position is more stable.Empress Yao's favor is not strong, and she has no heirs by her side, so she ended up in such a fate, I have to sigh that she is pitiful.But Shao Yunyan is not the case, not only the emperor dotes on her, but she also has a twin child of a dragon and a phoenix.Strange to say, since the birth of the twins, the weather in Dali Kingdom has changed for the better.Even the south, where there was a flood in previous years, is very calm, and there has been no flood in the past three years.

After thinking about it, the concubines who were content with peace didn't say anything.She is already a queen, so what can she fight for?No matter how much I fight, I can't compare to Shao Yunyan who has a favorite, a status and an heir.Those restless were thinking about how to pull Shao Yunyan down.But those with a low status can only think about it, and those with a high status... only the Concubine Lian who is already the Concubine Lian.

Her thin little son has grown up slowly. Although Yue Yue is a few months older than Rui Chen, his body is far inferior to Rui Chen's.But even so, Concubine Lian was still dissatisfied.Although in the past three years, she has to be promoted from a noble concubine to a lotus concubine, but she is still reluctant in her heart.

She glanced at the two people sitting above her with reluctance in her heart.There are still vacancies for the fourth concubine, and the positions of Concubine Rong and Concubine De are still vacant.Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian already have someone.She looked at the two smilingly at Shao Yunyan with reluctance in her eyes, full of disdain in her heart.

Today's Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are Zuo Yuluan and Yu Qingxian.These two are Li Huang's new favourites. Everyone knows that Concubine Shu Zuo Yuluan, his elder brother was sent to the border to guard the frontier.In order to stabilize General Zuo's heart, Zuo Yuluan has been favored all the time.And this Yu Qingxian made everyone a little jealous. She moved Li Huang because of her emotional words back then.This also caused Li Huang to dote on her even more.She had no sense of presence in the harem.But a year ago when Li Huangjin made the fourth concubine, her name quietly appeared on the roster.

Yu Qingxian is different from Zuo Yuluan. Zuo Yuluan is favored by virtue of her brother's power. When General Zuo had no fortune, she was just a small filling.But Zuo Yuluan is different, although she didn't follow Li Huang all the way to seize the heir, she is also the daughter of the family who stood behind him back then.She not only has status, but now she is also loved.It's that calm temperament that makes the concubines in the harem boring.She neither makes good friends with anyone openly, nor does she play tricks on others secretly.Such a person, I am afraid that if he is not really kind, he is a person with deep scheming. In any case, Yu Qingxian is smart enough to be able to keep her pet for three years even though she is sterile.

Shao Yunyan smiled and looked at the concubines, ignoring the jealousy and resentment in Concubine Lian's eyes.The hands and feet that she made back then should have slowly developed.Concubine Lian only relied on the Empress Dowager Chu, and now that the Empress Dowager Chu is a person who can breathe when she walks, she may not have many days to live well.If she loses the barrier of the queen mother... her Concubine Lian is nothing.

With a smile on his face, Li Huang took her hand and led him to Fengxian Gate step by step.The portraits of the emperors and empresses of all dynasties are enshrined in the Fengxian Hall. Every emperor who ascends the throne or a queen canonize must enter the inner hall to worship.

Before entering the hall, Li Huang took her hand and said: "After you enter the hall, you will see the big gift I gave you...I believe, you will like it."

Shao Yunyan looked up at Cheng Zimo's focused eyes, and couldn't help but smile softly.After entering the inner hall, eunuchs and others must stay outside the hall.Even the Empress Dowager Chu is not allowed to enter. The inner hall where the ancestors are enshrined has always been accessible only to the Empress Dowager.

Walking into the main hall, the two futons were arranged, just for the two of them to kneel there straight.Li Huang laughed softly, and said with a smile: "You raise your head."

Shao Yunyan looked up and saw that there was no portrait of Yao Xiya hanging in Fengxian Hall, she couldn't help but glanced at Li Huang in surprise, "A portrait of my sister?"

Li Huang smiled softly, and said softly to her: "Yao Xiya has made a big mistake. Although she didn't have a clear order to abolish the empress because of her face, she can't be regarded as a queen, so how can she be worthy of entering the Fengxian Hall of our Liu family?"

Seeing Li Huang's gentle expression, Shao Yunyan was still surprised.But afterwards, Li Huang said slowly: "You are my beloved, how can I be willing to ask you to kneel down to another woman again?"

Listening to Li Huang's gentle words, Shao Yunyan was moved for a while, and crystal tears flashed in her eyes.He couldn't help but excitedly said: "Your Majesty...how could you...for my concubine's sake..."

"I said, I'm just your husband..." Li Huang hooked the corners of his lips and finished speaking softly, then followed the eunuch's singing ability to complete the final etiquette.

When Emperor Li formally walked out of the inner hall holding Shao Yunyan's hand, all the princes and concubines in the harem knelt down and shouted: "For the concubine, see the emperor's majesty and the queen's empress for a thousand years."

Shao Yunyan and Li Huang smiled side by side, seeing the gloomy eyes cast by the Empress Dowager, she couldn't help but sneered.It seems that she is still restless... Then there is no need to procrastinate, let's increase the weight.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager's sudden serious illness last year, this illness is quite strange.At first I didn't know why the Queen Mother's spirit was getting worse day by day, but later it actually developed to the point where more days of falling asleep than waking up every day.Although Emperor Li and the Empress Dowager had always been at odds with each other, they were considered elders, and they were also the Empress Dowager, so they immediately allocated a large amount of medicinal materials to recuperate the Empress Dowager's body.

But Rao looked at the tonic and drank bowls of tonics, but it didn't bring back the queen mother's healthy body.In the end, it developed to sleep for nearly ten hours a day, which was very strange to Li Huang.Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager Chu was still very young, after all, she was the youngest concubine of the first emperor. Seeing the appearance of the Empress Dowager, many imperial physicians thought that the Empress Dowager would not have many days to live, and even Tan Hesong couldn't find out why.

The imperial physician was not clear, but Shao Yunyan was very clear.The queen mother is a person who worships Buddha no matter what, so she, Shao Yunyan, gave the queen mother a hand-embroidered image of Guanyin.Seeing such a gift, the queen mother was still very happy, so she hung it in the Buddhist hall and kowtowed to offer incense every day.

After going back and forth, the Queen Mother's spirit became worse, and the worse she was, the more she wanted the Bodhisattva to bless her. Even if the illness became like this, she still went to pay respects to the Buddha every day, praying for the Buddha to bless her to recover soon.

But where would she have thought that the root cause of her illness was in the Buddhist hall?

After the completion of the ceremony, the Empress Dowager Chu was exhausted.After returning to Yi'an Palace, he fell into a coma.Because the Queen Mother was exhausted, Shao Yunyan simply dismissed the subsequent banquet and went back to Fengyang Palace to rest.

Li Huang did not follow unexpectedly, which made Shao Yunyan heave a sigh of relief.Back in the palace, she took off her heavy phoenix robe. She was only wearing a brocade inner skirt and a wide-sleeved beige, and lazily fell down on the beauty couch.Glancing at Nanny Fang, she couldn't help but smile lazily and said, "Now the queen mother has been seriously ill for a long time, and her spirit is extremely poor. You can do whatever you want, but you should be clean..."

Mother Fang gave Shao Yunyan a moved look, then knelt down on the ground and said, "After I avenge my old master, I will serve my mother wholeheartedly and treat my mother as the only master."

Shao Yunyan looked at Nanny Fang who was kneeling on the ground with a grateful face, waved her hand lightly and said, "Don't be grateful to me, I have my own resentment for attacking her. As for you, come back if you want. If you don't, you You can leave the palace and enjoy your life in peace.”

Mother Fang didn't say anything, she just waited for the night to fall, when the Yi'an Palace didn't know what happened, the Empress Dowager's shrill screams suddenly rang out.When the maids and guards arrived, they found that the Empress Dowager was huddled in the Buddhist hall with her hair disheveled, trembling all over, in a trance.

From that day on, the Empress Dowager Chu couldn't recognize anyone, and woke up every day and every night, and started yelling when she woke up, making the Yi'an Palace restless.

No one knows what happened that night, and no one knows that Nanny Fang had been to Yi'an Palace that night, only that the Empress Dowager cried to let me go in her dream... When she woke up, she was suspicious every day, worrying about Concubine Qin's Ghosts float in at any time.In the end, even the imperial physician refused to enter.

She really can't last long like this...

Empress Dowager Chu's appearance made Huang Li very helpless.Half a month later, a court lady discovered that the Empress Dowager had collapsed in front of the Buddhist altar, her whole body was already stiff, as if she had been away for a long time.

The Empress Dowager's death made Emperor Li breathe a sigh of relief.In the early morning of the second day, I issued an imperial decree, expressing that the Queen Mother had passed away, and I was very sad. I would like to exempt from taxes for three years, revoke the palace election, and concubines under the fourth concubine eat vegetarian food to pray for the deceased Queen Mother during the day.

Shao Yunyan watched with her own eyes that the Buddha statue that the Empress Dowager loved during her lifetime was stuffed into the coffin and made a stuffing, and then she smiled with relief.Who would have thought that she would dye the juice of the Soul Eater Grass into the embroidery thread?If it weren't for the queen mother who had to worship the Buddha every day, she really couldn't figure out how to deal with the big trouble of the queen mother.

Thinking of this, Shao Yunyan laughed, sat up suddenly, walked outside and looked at the Zhengyang Palace not far away, and suddenly said with a cold look: "Your Majesty... I don't know if you find that your greatest interest is gone in the future, so what should it be?" How?"
