The sky was still slightly bright, and the goose-yellow light of the palace lanterns illuminated the golden decorations in the room, which looked magnificent. In the eyes of Her Majesty, these things had always been taken for granted, but now they were painted with a lonely color.
The heights are unbearably cold, I have always been used to being ruthless, playing with all the officials in the court between my applause, thinking that I dismissed the love of those children, but dreaming back to the long night, I couldn't help crying and wet my clothes.
Her Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, and she doesn't eat much, plus staying up late to read memorials. Although some imperial physicians prescribed some soothing prescriptions, Her Majesty has a heart disease, and her body has not improved after taking the medicine. .
Her Majesty's physical discomfort has involved the nerves of many people with malicious intentions. Some took the opportunity to send supplements to make up for Her Majesty's health in order to get things done, and some wantonly spread rumors. Yes, there are also those who are genuinely worried about Her Majesty the Queen.
Seeing the hypocritical queen, she became even more irritable when she was unwell, so she disappeared except for important state affairs.
On this day, surrounded by a group of court maids, the Queen came to the Imperial Garden to relax. For some unknown reason, the Queen actually wore a grand red dress on this idle day.
I saw her in a bright red floor-length gown, and on the huge skirt was embroidered a lifelike phoenix about to fly. The phoenix held a peony embroidered with gold silk in its mouth, which made the lady more dignified and noble.
The clothes are very gorgeous, but the hair style is very simple. The long splashed ink hair is tied up in a simple bun, but that's all, under the support of a group of court ladies' plain gowns, even though she is a woman, people can't ignore her The luxury and arrogance of the body.
Who doesn't know that the Queen of Southern Chu is graceful and graceful, how many people lost their lives just to see her beauty, and now they can only be imprisoned by the power under this high wall, clothed in rich clothes and fine food, tossing the clouds and rains, I don't know if it is a kind of happiness or sorrow.
The peonies in the imperial garden are in full bloom, and the rockery and flowing water are also quite artistic, but they are all artificially carved. Although they are not as majestic as the natural mountains and rivers, they look comfortable.
The eunuchs moved the couch for the imperial concubine, covered with a blanket made of the fur of the silver fox in the northern cold land, on which Her Majesty the Queen lay reclined, basking in the sun with her eyes squinted, surrounded by a group of maids serving her.
Some gently beat and massaged the queen's legs with a small hammer, some fanned the queen with a round fan, and some held a fruit plate and carefully delivered the peeled lychees to the queen's mouth.
The breeze was warm, and the servants were very kind. The queen was a little drowsy, so she waved her hand, and the maid who was waiting on the side immediately understood, put away the fruit plate, and handed over a cup of warm tea. The queen took a sip of tea, After rinsing her mouth, she spit it into the golden basin handed over by the eunuch, and another court lady handed over a tray with a white towel. The Queen picked up the towel and wiped her mouth before getting ready to rest.
Who knows, someone came to disturb Qingmeng again.
"Your Majesty, Princess Li is begging to see you." The eunuch bent down, worried that the queen would be unhappy, so he insisted on disturbing the queen at this time because the matter was related to the safety of the two countries. Princess Li is the princess who wants to make peace with Nanchu. I can't afford to offend a little eunuch myself.
"Let her come in." The queen yawned. She was in a good mood today, and sat up under the service of the maid. The nun next to her also came to help the queen comb her hair with an ebony comb.
Princess Li came to the Royal Garden under the leadership of the eunuch, because she came to see the queen, Princess Li dressed very formally.
"See Her Majesty the Queen." Princess Li crossed her hands on her waist, made a blessing, and grasped her slender waist.
The queen lazily raised her hand, "Excuse me, I'll give you a seat."
The eunuch immediately moved a pear-wood carved stool, Princess Li thanked the queen and sat on the chair.
"Why do you have time to see me today?" The queen squinted at Princess Li, not knowing what she was planning.
Princess Li smiled, she was as cute as a hibiscus coming out of water, "I heard that His Majesty is not feeling well, the Empress Mother and I were very worried, so we came to have a look, now His Majesty looks good, so I am relieved."
"I'm fine. I've been reading the brochures recently. I have a headache from reading those high-sounding words, and I don't have anyone to talk with me. It's just right that you're here, and you can talk to me."
The queen took the rose-scented tea offered by the maid and took a sip.
"Yes." Princess Li agreed, took the tea from Gong'e with both hands, smelled the tea fragrance, and took a small sip.
"Recently, I've been in the palace all the time, and I've been bored for the past few days. Is there any happy event outside the palace recently? You have to tell me well." Her Majesty the Queen blinked at Princess Li, her eyes were full of indifference. Laughing, it seems that she is no longer a high-ranking queen, but a girl in her boudoir with a single word, full of fantasies about everything, the two of them are no longer hostile, but two girls who have not left the court spying in the boudoir Also already.
Princess Li smiled, handed the teacup to the maid next to her, and said: "There are many happy events. The daughter of Li Shilang in Nanchu will leave the cabinet in a few days. The young master of Wang Shangshu's family will be appointed, and the prime minister's residence will also be married." Adding a happy event, Prime Minister Hu's daughter-in-law gave birth to twin sons a few days ago, and I am really envious of others."
"No wonder, Prime Minister Hu looks very happy recently." The queen agreed with a smile, but her mood was very low.
When it comes to children, Her Majesty the Queen feels a little uncomfortable. She has no husband and son-in-law, let alone children, and Nian'er, that child who is not her own but which she wants to love, has been a long time since the last time. I didn't go to see him anymore, I don't know how he is doing, should I go to see him, or forget it, I can't have any other emotions for him.
Her Majesty was thinking again, with a frozen smile on her face. Princess Li Guo saw that Her Majesty was in a good mood, so she took advantage of the heat and wanted to ask about herself: "Your Majesty, in fact, there will be an even bigger matter soon. What about my happy event, I... I will marry in Nanchu soon, I wonder if Your Majesty can reveal some news about my future husband-in-law?"
Princess Li Guo was deeply afraid that Her Majesty would give herself to someone casually, so she pretended to be shy and asked, "What kind of person does Your Majesty want to find?"
The queen looked at Princess Li's shy little daughter face, smiled crookedly, and couldn't help teasing, "Hey, are you so impatient?"
