Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 4

She helped Aobai tuck the quilt, and with a thought, she somehow talked about what Xuan Ye had said to her at the end of last year.After hearing this for a while, Aobai said angrily, "When I think about Lihou, I can't beat my anger. If the little emperor wants to take charge of the government through Lili, he must choose one of the daughters of the four ministers to be the queen. Whether you or Sang Hua, they are all excellent daughters, but why does the Empress Dowager only pass on Soni's granddaughter to the palace to speak?"

Rong Huang could hear the injustice in Aobai's words, she was silent for a while, and said after thinking about it: "Actually... Actually, I don't want to enter the harem either."

"That's right!" Obai suddenly responded, "Our daughter of a good family, why did you go to the palace to suffer that crime? You, Ama, and I can be regarded as extremely human ministers, and this honor is enough. It is necessary to send my daughter to a place like the harem that eats people. My adoptive father is only angry about their royal attitude, and they are all of similar status, so why should you two be left alone?"

Rong Huang nodded, and echoed: "What the foster father said is true. As for the draft... I think the emperor's childish nature, what he said to me a few days ago may be forgotten in a blink of an eye. But it is not safe in the end. , I also ask my adoptive father to help me ask for a decree of exemption from election."

Aobai responded with a quick "yes", and still did not forget to scold: "You little old man, Ama, you don't care about your daughter's affairs, do you really want to be an uncle of the country? Our girl is Phoenix's fate, if you want to be a queen, be it a concubine or a concubine, we don't care about it!"

Rong Huang was instantly infected by Oboi's aura, and just about to say "yes" loudly, Xuan Ye's slightly aggrieved voice suddenly came from the door: "Ao Zhongtang, can I really not marry Rong Huang?"

Hearing the emperor's voice suddenly, both father and daughter were stunned. It was Oboi who came back to his senses first and glanced at Namufu who was behind Xuanye, with a look of hatred on his face, for letting the little emperor be so silent. Came in silently.

Xuanye naturally understood Oboi's expression, but he just pretended not to know, stepped forward a few steps, and his maid brought a stool for him to sit on.After Xuanye sat down, he seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and greeted Oboi's body.Rong Huang was a little surprised, but didn't say much, just bowed to the emperor and then quietly retreated.

She thought that Xuan Ye was only interested in her for a while, but she didn't know that the first thing the emperor did after returning to the palace was to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to discuss with the Empress Dowager about establishing a queen.

"Huang Mama, Oboi's attitude is very firm, whether it is his biological daughter or adopted daughter, he can only be the queen."

Xuan Ye is the king of a country and the proud son of heaven.But at this time, when he looked at his grandmother, the most honorable woman in the Qing Dynasty, he was afraid.He was afraid of his grandmother's opposition, and that he would never get what he loved.

He admitted that he liked Rong Huang who was similar to Princess Rou Jia.He also admitted that he could not marry her as queen.But without making Ronghuang the empress, she couldn't be allowed to enter the palace...for a moment Xuanye seemed to be caught in a dilemma.

Logically, he should resolutely give up on Ronghuang and canonize Hershey as queen according to the original plan.But in terms of love, Xuan Ye really wants to make a big effort and marry the woman he likes in his heart.

He grew up with Princess Roujia since he was a child, and the two stayed close to each other in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and survived all the hardships together: getting smallpox, seizing the throne... Xuanye was playful when he was young, and his master always wanted to punish him. Then she will act like a baby softly, making the master from ear to ear.Every time Roujia got something delicious and fun from Empress Xiaoxian, also known as Concubine Dong E, she was the first to send it to Xuanye.

Such a deep friendship made the two young children forget the fact that they are both surnamed Aixinjueluo, and they are cousins ​​who are related by blood.They thought they would be together forever, but they resolutely separated in the second year of Xuan Ye's ascension to the throne.

Xuan Ye had already missed Rou Jia, and he didn't want to miss Rong Huang again.

The Empress Dowager didn't seem surprised when she heard the words, she still poured the freshly brewed tea calmly.Through the rising mist, she slightly raised her eyes to glance at the emperor, and said calmly: "The Ai family has already said that the queen of the middle palace must be the daughter of the Hesheli family."

Seeing Xuan Ye's body was slightly stiff, the Empress Dowager sighed, and her tone softened a little: "If you feel that you have wronged that girl of Ye Bilong's family, you can make her a concubine and love her more. If you don’t get involved, even if you stay in the palace, it’s nothing more than a disaster.”

"Emperor Mama, grandson..."

"Emperor." The Empress Dowager interrupted him mercilessly: "Before when your cousin Roujia got married, you made a fuss, and it finally stopped for a while, and now you want to disobey Aijia for Niu Hulu's girl? Aijia As I said, if you can get Ye Bilong to send his daughter to the palace willingly to be a concubine, that would be the best thing. It will not only follow your mind, but also win over a large minister. If you can't... then When Ye Bilong asks Aijia to be exempted from election, Aijia can't refute his face."

Xuan Ye shook his head, looking a little frustrated: "Ye Bilong has always been moderate, I'm afraid he won't make it out. On the other hand, Oboi, his grandson is looking at it today, he can be said to be obedient to Rong Huang, and he may be obedient to his own daughter." Not so spoiled."

"Is this true?" The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly, she murmured as if she was lost in thought: "You said this girl is called Ronghuang? It's a good name...Since Oboi values ​​her so much, why not..."

Seeing this, Kangxi hurriedly stepped forward, only to hear the grandmother say thoughtfully: "She must enter the palace...then our mother and son will use this girl...to eradicate Oboi!"

Xuan Ye was startled immediately, and almost subconsciously wanted to refute, but he was stared at by the Empress Dowager, and reprimanded in a low voice: "The emperor can see clearly, she is not your cousin! It's just a bit similar. Forget it, it's worth your distress? Didn't you swear to Aijia that you would never repeat the mistakes that Ama and grandfather made?"

Emperor Taizong only favored Concubine Hai Lanzhu, and Emperor Shunzhi only favored Concubine Yan... There are too many seeds of infatuation in Aixinjueluo's family. s right.

Hearing this, Xuan Ye's heart suddenly shrank tightly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained. He propped his forehead with his hands weakly, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Grandson understands. It's just... I, the emperor, is too much to be an emperor." It's a bit useless."

"Alas." Seeing her most beloved grandson like this, how could the Empress Dowager not feel distressed. "Xuanye, my good grandson, I believe that grandma will be fine. When you kiss the government and take power in your hands... Mama will not know what you want to do or whom you want to love." I won't stop you anymore. Mamo's good intentions, you have to understand!"

Xuan Ye nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes...the grandson will leave first." Although he understood the truth, at the boy's most naughty age, Xuan Ye had already endured too many things that he didn't need to bear.Xuan Ye can't calmly discuss with his grandmother face to face how to use the woman he likes to kill her father.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, expressing her consent.Before Xuan Ye walked out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she called Lagu Su Ma and said lightly: "Get ready, tomorrow morning I will go to the homes of the four ministers to pass the decree, and all Ge Ge who are over ten years old will die in three days." Come into the palace to warm up the Ai family's life."

Nuan Shou is a birthday celebration ceremony held on the day before the birthday, and is usually organized by the younger generation of one's own family.None of the empress dowager's grandsons have married wives, and now she has summoned the daughters of a few ministers, apparently to choose a grandson's wife for herself.

La Aunt Su Ma is the dowry maid of the Empress Dowager, and the two have been together for many years, so La Aunt Su Ma doesn't shy away from her too much. She just laughed and joked after hearing this: "The Empress Dowager is Sima The heart of Zhao is known to all passers-by!"

Aunt Su Ma understood what had happened at once, and the assistant ministers were all good people, so they naturally knew it well.The only one in Niu Hulu's mansion was Rong Huang who was ten years old, Ge Ge, Ye Bilong attached great importance to this matter, and after he came down to court, he called Rong Huang to the study to teach him a lesson, until Rong Huang was babbled by him It's not over until I fall asleep on the back of the chair.

The next morning, when it was only twilight, Rong Huang was called up by Ru Lan to get dressed for entering the palace two days later.In the past, Niu Hulu Ronghuang seemed to have a more lively personality, and her clothes were either red or pink. With this bright face, she was simply gorgeous.

Although Rong Huang is not the kind of annoying white lotus girl who travels through time, these clothes embroidered with big flowers or various strange insects are really not her type.She still likes softer and more plain colors, at least it looks comfortable.

As early as the third day after the crossing, she asked someone to make new clothes that fit her own taste, and now the old clothes have almost been eliminated.But the newly made ones are also homely clothes, and now they are going to enter the palace, so they can't be sloppy in dressing up.Rong Huang and Ru Lan rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time before choosing a pink and white flag dress that was probably new.

After choosing the clothes, I prepared jewelry and makeup.By the time the work was done, it was already dark.Rong Huang was so sleepy that he got out of bed and went to sleep, not expecting to be woken up early the next morning.It turned out that it was she, Ama Yebilong, who came here in person and told Rong Huang to prepare cakes for the Empress Dowager tomorrow.She didn't understand these etiquettes when she first came to ancient times, thanks to Ye Bilong's carefulness.
