Regardless of what your Majesty is in the eyes of outsiders, since Zhao Qian can sit on the position of the ninety-five princes and stand out among the other three brothers, he should be unique. Today, His Majesty often stays in the harem, but he is also diligent in government affairs. He is very efficient and manages the whole world in an orderly manner.
After the conversation between father and son was over, Zhao Gan sent his two sons away, and then he stood in front of the window with his hands alone.
For some reason, I thought of the past, the scenes of the past were clearly presented in my mind. His hands behind his back gradually tightened, but he didn't move. He didn't release his grip until a low voice of kindness came from behind him. The fist that fell, lowered his eyes slightly for a moment, and then turned around.
Empress Cao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about, so fascinated." After that, she took the soup on the plate held by the maidservant and said, "Your Majesty has been tired recently. Make a refreshing soup, your Majesty drink it while it's hot, it's good for your body."
"Go down." Zhao Gan didn't respond to Empress Cao in time and only gave an order, but after seeing the servants and servants in the temple file out, Zhao Gan looked at Empress Cao and said, "The queen sits down."
Empress Cao's hands were a little stiff, and the hand holding the soup bowl also trembled slightly.
She was thinking, if it was Princess Ming who was standing in front of your majesty at this moment, she had come to give your majesty soup, what kind of attitude your majesty would have towards her. The more I thought about it, the more I felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I didn't think too much, and just obediently said: "Yes, your majesty." Then he put the soup bowl on the table, and then gently took a seat on the side.
"Have you been to see her?" Zhao Gan sat behind Long An, his eyes were a bit deep, his tone was neither high nor low, and his tone was not too fast or slow.
Only a few words, just a few words, made Queen Cao shiver.
Empress Cao was shocked and looked up at the man sitting behind the dragon case. For a moment, she felt as if she had never known him before. Feeling familiar with him, but strange at the same time, looking at his face now, there is a faint smile on the corners of his lips, and she thinks of the thirty front, when she quietly hid while peeking at him, The smile he showed to himself after he found out.
She didn't understand at that time, was that laughter a mockery
I didn't understand it before, and I still don't understand it. Thirty years have passed, and she seems to have never understood him.
"Sister Qin and I haven't seen each other for 30 years. What happened when I was young, but now I want to come, but still vividly remember it." Empress Cao said truthfully, "So, without her Majesty’s permission, I went to see her privately. I also hope that your Majesty will forgive your sins."
"You don't go there in the future." Zhao Gan's voice was flat, and he couldn't see the happiness or anger. After a short meal, he said, "How is she living there?"
Empress Cao smiled and said: "Every response is very good, and sister Qin is also very optimistic. When the concubine went, she was talking with the girl." Quietly raised his eyes to look at Zhao Gan, but saw that he was still indifferent. Empress Cao pondered, and said, "Your Majesty, you and Sister Qin have not seen each other for 30 years, so why don't you go and see her?"
Zhao Gan didn't answer her question, only raised his hand and tapped on the Long Case lightly, and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's birthday preparation?"
Empress Cao was stunned for a moment, and she felt cold for a while, before she replied: "Thanks to the help of the concubine, everything is well prepared. Please rest assured, your majesty. Your concubines will not be negligent."
"That's good." Zhao Gan nodded slightly, and said again, "I can trust the queen by handing over the harem to the queen."
Empress Cao didn't understand for a while, and the harem was handed over to the empress. Shouldn't this be a matter of righteousness? Can you believe it or not? If you can't believe it, is it possible that she will be abolished as a queen? I also thought that my mother’s family was not high, and my birthplace was not high. I was able to become a princess in the first place. His Majesty was more or less because he remembered that he had eaten and lived with Princess Ming. To put it bluntly, it was because of Princess Ming. Surface.
But now that she can be a queen, she would be a queen because of the prince and king Jin.
After all, you are now the mother of a country, not because your majesty cares about yourself, but because of others.
After all these years, Empress Cao still felt so embarrassed and chilling for the first time. For the first time, she felt that no matter how much she silently paid, her Majesty would never look at herself. Come to think of it, it was because of Princess Ming that he was willing to marry himself, but it was also because of Princess Ming that he didn't want to be too close to him.
Because once you get close to yourself, those sad past events will come to mind.
And those are things he deliberately avoided, and he doesn't want to think about it.
Empress Cao was heartbroken, but only silenced her son for a while, and then said: "Your majesty let go, the concubines must lead the concubine to take care of the harem, and will not disappoint her." Empress Cao trembled slightly and said a few words, but see Her Majesty did not reply again, she hesitated, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that, yesterday morning, when he went up, his Majesty personally said that Chaoyang was the princess lord?"
"The queen has objections?" Zhao Gan asked quietly.
Empress Cao said: "The concubine dare not, but... Chaoyang is still young, is it a bit wrong to be named the county lord this time? Although the king of Jin has made military exploits, but in the end the prince is the prince, and Chaoyang is named the county lord. Lord, and the East Palace now doesn’t even have a princess, so I want to come..."
Empress Cao didn't continue to say the following words, because she looked up and saw her Majesty's expression, and gradually stopped.
"Didn’t the queen invite the famous ladies of the Jiangnan family to go to the capital to celebrate her birthday? Since there are no girls in the capital that the prince can admire, the queen has worked hard these days and chooses one of these Jiangnan family girls. , To be the prince’s wife.” Zhao Gan did not look at Empress Cao again, only lowered his head and began to review the memorial.
Empress Cao looked at the soup that was gradually cooling down, and her heart also cooled down a little bit. Although her Majesty did not drive her away, but she was also acquainted and took the initiative to ask Ann, and then retired.
It was snowing again, and the curtains were opened, and a cold wind hit, completely chilling my heart.
