He Shaoting rushed towards the palace gate all the way, but he had a faint ominous premonition in his heart.
When he arrived at the Longgan Palace, the waiter who had been waiting at the gate of the palace early in the morning saw him appear and hurriedly greeted him: "General He, you are finally here, hurry up, your majesty wants to see you!"
He didn't dare to ask any further questions, and hurriedly followed behind the servant into the hall, only to find that Tang Songnian, Qiu Zhong and other important court officials were all kneeling in the hall, and the concubines of the harem, such as Concubine Zheng Gui and Concubine Yao, sobbed in a low voice. With a squeak, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
He turned around the large marble painting screen in the hall, and saw Emperor Tianxi, who was pale and very weak on the bed, and Prince Zhao Yuanyou, who was holding his hand and kneeling in front of the bed and weeping.
"Your Majesty, General He is here."
He Shaoting took a few strides forward, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and called out in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, the minister He Shaoting..."
Emperor Tianxi turned his head with difficulty and said weakly, "Shao Ting, you, come here."
He Shaoting walked to the bed on his knees, and also saw Emperor Tianxi's bloodless face and weak breath, his whole heart seemed to be pinched hard: "Your Majesty..."
"Shao Ting, do you remember what you promised me?" Emperor Tianxi grabbed his hand with his last strength and asked, panting.
"This minister remembers, and this minister will always remember, to recover the six states in the northern border, open up the territory and expand the territory, and raise my country's prestige." He replied in a choked voice.
"Okay, just remember, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to see that day... But, the prince is still here, Daqi is still there, I will be waiting under Jiuquan, waiting for your ambition That day." Emperor Tianxi's breathing became more and more rapid, and he looked at Zhao Yuanyou, whose face was full of tears, with difficulty.
"Yuanyou, when that day comes, you must go to my spirit and tell me about it yourself..."
Zhao Yuanyou sobbed and nodded.
Emperor Tianxi's eyes began to slacken, and his voice became weaker: "Songnian, Qiu Zhong, Wei Liang..."
"Master Tang, Master Qiu, Master Wei!" Immediately, an inner servant urgently called the three Tang Songnian outside the screen.
Tang Songnian and the others did not dare to delay, and hurriedly walked in and knelt in front of the bed. Seeing that the emperor on the bed was already in a dying state, his breathing was suffocating.
"Several loving ministers, I will entrust the prince to a few, and I hope you and others will do your best to help the prince, just as you have helped me all these years." Emperor Tianxi said softly.
"The ministers will live up to your majesty's entrustment, and they will do their best and die!" The three of them promised at the same time.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Emperor Tianxi showed a gratified smile. For a moment, his eyes were slack, and in a trance, there seemed to be a light smoke floating from the door of the temple, and the light smoke gradually dispersed, a familiar gentle face Staring at him affectionately, he blessed him with a blessed body, and his Dan lips lightly opened, "Your Majesty..."
With a smile on his face, he slowly stretched out his hand towards the person who came: "Queen..."
Everyone saw that Emperor Tianxi suddenly stretched out his hand in the direction of the door, muttering something in his mouth, and then his arm suddenly dropped.
"His Majesty!!"
"Father Emperor!!"
—
After He Shaoting left, Tang Junyao tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall back asleep.
There is an emergency call in the palace at midnight, could it be that the emperor's condition has changed? Doing the math, the Emperor Taizong in his previous life almost died within a year or two.
Her heart was quite uncomfortable. She had never had contact with Emperor Tianxi in her previous life, and her understanding of him was only from historical books, from hundreds of officials and thousands of people, and from Zhao Yuanyou's mouth. To her, Emperor Tianxi was a character in the history books.
But this life is different. She has been in and out of the court since she was a child, she will come into contact with him from time to time, and she also feels his gentle and loving side. Even a proud person like the old man of her family has a kind of respect and surrender to this person on the dragon chair.
In fact, it is more than him. Which of the ministers in the DPRK and China is not really surrendered? The monarchs and ministers of the Tianxi Dynasty were united, so as to lay a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Great Qi Dynasty.
I don't know how long it took, when the faint sound of the bell of 'Dang' came, which startled her. .
With another 'dang', she threw a drape over her body and hurried out.
Lan Chun and other maids who were waiting outside the house quickly followed.
"Where's Cao Sheng? Where's Fan Guang? Let someone go out to see if something happened?" Tang Junyao ordered loudly, and after a while, Cao Sheng hurried over.
"Madam, Your Majesty... is dead!"
Tang Junyao swayed.
it is as expected…
She bit her lips hard, restraining the sadness in her heart, and calmly ordered to replace the red silk hanging in the house.
But in the blink of an eye, the festivities of the Mansion were replaced by Qi Su.
The emperor died and the capital was under martial law. Now He Shaoting, as the number one military general, naturally guarded it in person to prevent unscrupulous elements from taking the opportunity to disturb people's hearts.
During this period, he didn't have time to go back to the mansion, so he just sent a message back so that Tang Junyao didn't have to worry about Yunyun.
Tang Junyao could only wait patiently with full of anxiety.
Until the enthronement ceremony was held, Prince Zhao Yuanyou officially succeeded to the throne, and the name was changed to Jingchang, and the following year was the first year of Jingchang. After the enthronement ceremony, Tang Junyao finally returned to He Shaoting.
He Shaoting opened his hands, caught his newlywed wife who was rushing towards him, kissed her on the forehead, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I left you alone at home."
"It doesn't matter to me, I just can't worry about you, what about Daddy? Has he gone home too?" Tang Junyao raised her head in his arms and asked.
"Don't worry, I personally sent my father back to the mansion." He Shaoting led her back to the house and told her what happened these days in a trivial manner.
Tang Junyao listened patiently, unable to tell what it was like.
When Emperor Daxing was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the time entered the first year of Jingchang, and the young Jingchang Emperor Zhao Yuanyou officially issued an decree to confer the concubine Liang Yuyan, the Yuan wife, as the empress. All this was the same as in the previous life, and Tang Junyao was not surprised. .
In the past six months, both her husband and the old man in her family have been busy, and it is not uncommon for them to be invisible for several days, and Tang Junyao gradually got used to it.
At this moment, she changed into the imperial clothes of Mrs. Gao Ming under the service of Lan Chun and others, and entered the palace to worship the new queen.
Looking at herself dressed up in the bronze mirror, she slightly raised the corner of her lips.
It was the first time in her two lifetimes that she paid homage to Empress Liang as a concubine! It feels a little strange, but it's pretty good.
Now she likes to hear people call her 'Mrs. He'. No matter how she hears these three words, she will never get tired of hearing them. At night, when He Shaoting holds her in his arms, he does nothing but 'Bao Ya' in her ear. , 'Mrs.' shouted indiscriminately, and also taught her to be happy.
Before that, she had never thought that happiness was so simple.
A pair of powerful arms suddenly appeared around her waist, she smiled slightly, and let herself snuggle into the thick and warm chest behind her.
The maid in the house didn't know when to back out. He Shaoting quickly kissed her on the face and said with a smile, "Bao Ya looks more and more like a dignified and dignified lady in her dress."
Tang Junyao turned around in his arms and said angrily, "Then you mean that I'm getting old wearing this clothes?"
He Shaoting laughed: "How come."
His wife looks good no matter what she wears, and no matter how she wears it, she is the one in the crowd who can catch his eye at once.
"Can't you say something nice to make me happy?" Tang Junyao poked him in the face dissatisfied.
Unless this person is drunk, or when the relationship between the bed is too strong, he will never hear half a sweet whisper from his mouth.
He Shaoting looked at her with a smile, and while she was unprepared, he opened his mouth to hold the slender finger that was playing tricks, and rubbed his teeth lightly.
The numbness from her fingertips made the unsuspecting her tremble slightly, and her cheeks quietly climbed up to the red glow.
She thumped him lightly on the chest, like anger and joy: "I hate it."
The little wife likes duplicity the most. He Shaoting was delighted and laughed in a low voice. The magnetic laughter fell into Tang Junyao's ears and taught her that her ears were itchy. : "Don't laugh any more, it's about to delay my entry into the palace."
He Shaoting stopped laughing, straightened the phoenix hairpin on her bun for her, held her hand across the threshold, and put her on the carriage that entered the palace.
This is the first time in her life that she has entered the palace after marriage. Standing in the Fengzao Palace, which has changed a lot, so that she can no longer find the familiar feeling of the first queen, her heart is a little complicated, and it is really true I realized that everything that belonged to the Tianxi Dynasty was slowly passing away.
"Grandmother, mother!" When she saw Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were smiling at her not far away, her eyes lit up, and she picked up her skirt and went up to meet her.
Wang shi held her hand lovingly: "Why do you look so thin? But you don't eat well?"
Tang Junyao laughed dumbly. Every time her grandmother saw her, she said she was thin, and she was always worried that she was not eating well in the General's Mansion.
She was about to coax her a few words, when Ruan shi interrupted her: "Go back and stand up, the Empress is about to enter the hall."
Tang Junyao responded and hurriedly returned to her place to stand.
After a while, Liang Yuyan, who was dressed in the queen's ceremonial clothes, walked slowly with the hand of the female official, and sat down on the throne in the center.
She slowly opened her lips and avoided the ceremony, looking at the women of different ages, with white hair or red faces, looking up and down, her eyes suddenly fell on the young face in the front row on the right.
The smile on her face was stiff for a moment, thinking of the two paintings that Zhao Yuanyou did not forget to bring when he entered the palace, her lips pursed, her eyes were a little complicated, but she quickly lowered her eyes to cover up the past.
Tang Junyao's mind was always sensitive, and she naturally noticed the momentary hesitation on Empress Liang's face when she looked at her, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was very puzzled.
