Empress Dowager Pei suddenly felt lonely.
The palace is too deserted!
Over there in Chang'an Palace, people come in and out every day, just like a yamen.
On the other hand, in Weiyang Palace, except for the maids from the 15th day of the Lunar New Year who came to the palace to pay their respects, there was not even a mosquito at the gate of the palace at other times.
Empress Dowager Pei was uncomfortable, unhappy, and depressed.
If Liu Zhao is willing to open up the harem, Weiyang Palace will definitely not be what it is now.
The concubines in the harem come to the Weiyang Palace to pay their respects every day, all dressed up in fancy dress, in order to please her all kinds of intrigues.
Just thinking about this scene made Empress Dowager Pei happy!
However, Liu Zhao did not open up the harem, and Empress Dowager Pei also lost the source of happiness.
As for the clan, Liu Zhao took action to control all the men and children of the clan, and the internal situation of the clan improved a lot.
Everyone would not bother Empress Dowager Pei with trivial matters, they can be solved by looking for Xiao Qin'er, and it is also convenient.
Xiao Qin'er can't solve important matters, she has her own empress.
Empress Dowager Pei seemed to be emptied out of nothing.
Back then, Gu Jiu's original intention of letting Empress Dowager Pei and Xiao Qin'er manage the clan's affairs together was to check and balance each other.
It is mainly Empress Dowager Pei who checks and balances Xiao Qin'er.
It's also to find something for Empress Dowager Pei, so that she won't be bored and find fault.
However, Xiao Qin'er took advantage of the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first, which made it easier to contact the clan members, and snatched the job of the Empress Dowager Pei.
As time went on, everyone also formed a habit of thinking, looking for Xiao Qin'er for anything.
Xiao Qin'er couldn't solve it, so she went to the palace to find the empress.
Ever since, Empress Dowager Pei was bored again.
Once people have nothing to do, they love to think wildly.
In addition, the Empress Dowager Pei is old, old and young, and she loves to toss even more.
Living in Weiyang Palace, I think Weiyang Palace is deserted.
Living in the Compassionate Ning Palace, I think the Compassionate Ning Palace is lifeless.
Going to the Royal Garden to play is also too deserted.
He asked Xiao Qin'er to come into the palace to talk with her, at first Xiao Qin'er was quite considerate.
There were too many times, Xiao Qin'er was too lazy to listen to the empress dowager Pei's nagging, so she simply found an excuse not to enter the palace.
If Xiao Qin'er didn't enter the palace, Empress Dowager Pei would torment Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu.
Headache today, stomachache tomorrow, and pain in hands and feet the day after tomorrow...
Her side is in pain, and as a son and daughter-in-law, she must visit her.
Empress Dowager Pei held Gu Jiu's hand, crying, "Poor Bengong! I'm old, and I don't even have anyone around me to talk to relieve my boredom."
Gu Jiu broke away from the Empress Dowager Pei's hand calmly, "The Empress Dowager takes good care of her body, don't overthink."
Can Queen Mother Pei be dismissed so easily
Of course not.
She choked and said: "I live alone in Weiyang Palace, life is meaningless! It's better to let me die and go down to find the late emperor. I don't know if the late emperor is waiting for me on the way. Don't worry, Ben Gong met the late emperor and promised not to sue. You are busy and don't have time to visit me, I can understand."
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.
Threatening her and Liu Zhao with a dead person
She wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
She can ignore the threat of Queen Mother Pei, it's all nonsense.
As Liu Zhao's son, he couldn't help but care.
Gu Jiu could only comfort her patiently: "The queen mother wants to find someone to talk with, and the daughter-in-law will settle this matter, so the queen mother won't be lonely."
Pei Yangyang looked at her eagerly, "Let Ruyang stay with me."
Gu Jiu shook her head, "Ruyang wants to study, and she is young, impatient, unable to sit still, will quarrel with the queen mother, and aggravate the mother's condition. The daughter-in-law will find someone else for the mother to make sure that the mother is satisfied."
Empress Dowager Pei was not happy, "Don't look for Xiao Qin'er! I can see through her."
Xiao Qin'er's perfunctory made Empress Dowager Pei furious.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and agreed, "I promise my mother that I won't look for my fourth sibling."
"Then who are you looking for?"
"I'll know when I change my mother and son. Let's leave a surprise first."
"I will wait and see, waiting for your surprise."
Empress Dowager Pei now also understands the principle of stopping and stopping, so she didn't bother Gu Jiu too much.
After Gu Jiu left, Empress Dowager Pei sat up from the bed.
She sighed, and chattered with Eunuch Wen, "If Huyang is still alive, even though she doesn't like to enter the palace, there is a person like her who is worthy of my concern, and my life will be very enjoyable. It's not like now, Huyang is gone, and I don't even have anyone in this palace to worry about it."
Is it considered to be lost before you know how to cherish
"Princess Huyang knows under the spring, knowing that the Queen Mother misses her, I'm afraid she will jump for joy."
"Hmph! She won't be happy. She will only ridicule Bengong, saying that Bengong is a fake merciful cat and mouse, and by the way scolds Bengong that he deserves it."
It has to be said that Empress Dowager Pei knows Huyang too well.
When Huyang was alive, she despised Huyang and disliked him in various ways.
Huyang was devastated, and she was happier than anyone else.
But now that Huyang is gone, she began to feel melancholy again.
Even the person who made her think about cursing was gone, and life seemed to lose its color all of a sudden. From colorful to black and white, life has become dull.
Empress Dowager Pei sighed again.
She lamented for herself.
"Where did I expect Huyang to be short-lived, she died in her early fifties. I still hope that she will live a few more years. Our sister-in-law will come and go, and these days are also very interesting. Who would have thought that she It's a kind of love, after so many years, I still think about that bald donkey who is hopeless."
Empress Dowager Pei became more and more angry.
Always come with you, always come with you.
Although Empress Dowager Pei disliked Hu Yang in all kinds of ways, she regarded Hu Yang as her old companion in her heart.
The aunt and sister-in-law have been fighting for a lifetime, and when they are old, they might as well continue fighting.
Noisy days, that's called days.
As a result, Huyang went on a hunger strike because of his hopelessness. He ruined his body abruptly, and finally ruined himself to death.
When Hu Yang just died, Empress Dowager Pei didn't feel so deeply.
At that time, she was gloating and said, "She finally tortured herself to death!"
As time passed, Empress Dowager Pei missed Huyang more and more.
She didn't miss Emperor Chengzong Wende, but Huyang.
As time went by, this longing became more and more intense, and she didn't even realize it herself.
It's like, the biggest opponent in this life, I thought I would fight to the death, but the opponent died in front.
That kind of loss, that kind of melancholy taste, makes people unable to eat, and makes people feel uncomfortable.
Empress Dowager Pei turned her longing for Huyang into hatred for Wuwang, "It's fine if the bald donkey doesn't come back. If he comes back, I will definitely ask him to pay for Huyang's life!"
Eunuch Wen stopped talking.
Empress Dowager Pei glared at him, "Speak up if you have anything to say. You are an old man by my side, so you have nothing to worry about."
Eunuch Wen reminded Empress Dowager Pei in a low voice, "Madam Empress Dowager, Master Wuwang is a meritorious minister. If he returns to the capital, he will definitely be valued by His Majesty. It may be very difficult for the Empress Dowager to ask him to be buried with Princess Huyang."
Snapped!
The Empress Dowager Pei slapped the table, "The hopeless bald donkey killed Huyang, and my palace asked him to be buried with him. Is it wrong?"
Eunuch Wen hesitated and said: "Master Wuwang's merits always outweigh his demerits. After all, the relationship between him and Princess Huyang is an affair, which is nothing in front of the court. Otherwise, your majesty and empress should follow Princess Huyang's wishes and send There is no hope of being called back.”
Empress Dowager Pei was so angry that her nostrils turned upside down, her face was tense.
She said angrily: "The hopeless bald donkey, I met him back then. He has a deceitful face and a mouth that deceives people without paying for their lives. How can such a shrewd and selfish person like Huyang be defeated by Hopeless?" Coaxing, it must be that Wuwang used shady tricks to seduce Huyang's heart. This kind of six unclean bald donkey should be burned to death. It means that the majesty and the queen are messing around and reused these six Unclean wine and meat monk."
Eunuch Wen said cautiously: "Facts have proved that Your Majesty and the Empress have unique visions. Master Wuwang has accomplished things that others cannot."
"Hmph! No matter how capable he is, it cannot be denied that he killed Huyang."
Empress Dowager Pei is distressed!
Why can't Hu Yang think about it, spoil his body, and refuse to cooperate with the imperial doctor to take good care of his body.
Empress Dowager Pei turned her head, picked up the handkerchief, and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Half a year after Huyang's death, Empress Dowager Pei shed tears for her for the first time.
When Emperor Chengzong Wende passed away, Empress Dowager Pei did not shed a single tear.
She murmured to herself, "Our aunt and sister-in-law are reconciled today. You go away, don't be a princess in front of Lord Yan, and say something nice to try to have a good pregnancy. If you have a chance in your next life, don't be an aunt, just be a sister." Bar."
Eunuch Wen's eyes were red and he felt uncomfortable.
Empress Dowager Pei reprimanded him to conceal her inner emotions.
"Why are you crying! Ben Gong is not dead!"
"The old slave is not worth it for Huyang, and feels bad for the empress."
"What's the matter, I'm fine!"
"Everyone in the world says that the Empress Dowager and Princess Huyang are at odds. Who would have known that Huyang passed away, and the person who misses her the most will be the Empress Dowager. It can be seen that the so-called rumors are all false."
Empress Dowager Pei sneered, "I don't get along with Huyang in the first place, that's a fact."
"But the empress is thinking about Princess Huyang."
"I think about her, but it doesn't mean that I have a harmonious relationship with her. I am just lonely, and Huyang is the most noisy person. If she is alive, even if I don't see her, I will get angry. These days Ah, it's not boring, understand?"
Eunuch Wen shook his head slowly, "This old slave is dull."
He doesn't understand!
Empress Dowager Pei also didn't dislike Eunuch Wen, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. My palace now dislikes the harem for being too deserted. What do you think the emperor thinks? Open up the harem and welcome a few more concubines, so the palace can be more lively. Look at them Intrigue, in order to fight for favor, all eighteen martial arts are used, how energetic!"
Eunuch Wen laughed and said, "If Your Majesty really opens up the harem, the Empress Dowager will think the concubines are making a fuss."
Empress Dowager Pei said: "It's better to be noisy than deserted! Look at this Weiyang Palace, what a place, no one comes here on weekdays. There is no salt, no vinegar, no taste. I don't know what the queen gave the emperor. Gu, the emperor refuses to accept concubines, it's really annoying. The empress has given birth to three sons, and no one can shake her status. You say she is still strictly guarding against the emperor, what the hell is there? Heart? No matter what dynasty or generation, the emperor is not a group of women. When it comes to our emperor, hey, it’s a change.”
She is very resentful.
In the past, she advocated Liu Zhao to open up the harem in order to suppress Queen Gu Jiu and fight for power.
Now she still advocates letting Liu Zhao open the harem, because she thinks the harem is too deserted, and there is no one to talk to relieve boredom.
There is only one family living in the huge harem, less than ten people. The rest are palace maids and eunuchs, can you not be deserted
"Your Majesty and the Queen have a deep relationship and respect each other as guests. Your Majesty doesn't want to hurt the Queen, so he doesn't want to accept a concubine." Eunuch Wen said in a low voice.
Empress Dowager Pei sneered, "Why are you afraid of hurting the empress? The empress has an iron wall, and no one in the world can hurt her. It is clear that she has put a gu on the emperor, so the emperor will be devoted to her."
His words were full of disgust and dissatisfaction.
Dislike Gu Jiu's blatant occupation of Emperor Liu Zhao. Not afraid of secular rumors, not afraid of criticism from courtiers, not afraid of everything.
The gentleness and virtuousness of the woman's family are all lost.
The majestic mother of a country can't even set an example well, which has changed the atmosphere of the world.
There are more than one folks, because husbands are not allowed to take concubines, and women are so troubled that lawsuits have been brought to the government.
It is also a good name, the empress and empress do not allow the emperor to take concubines, what qualifications do ordinary people have to take concubines.
They all follow the example of the Queen Empress.
This kind of lawsuit is not sensitive to the government. Go back and make trouble by yourself, the government really doesn't like to accept such trivial things about men and women.
Especially tired of women holding high the queen's empress banner.
In the officialdom, the empress's words and deeds have been mixed, and criticism has always existed.
Seeing that the queen empress has ruined the folk customs and set a very bad example for women, the officials and gentlemen even puffed their beards and stared, and became more and more dissatisfied with the empress empress.
When the officials and gentlemen learned that the empress had brought the clan women into the palace as female officials, their dissatisfaction became even higher.
