Chapter 148 The Queen's Eyes on Liu Zhao's Marriage
The empress empress has been lingering on the bed all the year round, without her appearance.
She is definitely not beautiful today, and even a little scary.
A sharp look on the skinny cheeks can really scare the child into tears.
But the queen mother didn't care a little bit.
She never avoided the gaze of Emperor Yao, she generously showed her ugliest side in front of Emperor Kai Yao.
As for the way Kai Yaodi saw her now, the empress never cared what she thought in her heart.
My old lady is dying, and still care about your feelings of killing a thousand swords, do you look for abuse?
The old lady is uncomfortable, so don't think about it, you who kill a thousand knives.
Even if the old lady is dead, the old lady will make you, a stinky man with a thousand knives and swords, be overwhelmed.
The empress made no secret of her malice.
She really resented Kai Yaodi. Sometimes in front of Emperor Kai Yao, he didn't hide his inner desire to kill the opponent.
However, Emperor Kai Yao hated and feared the empress, and had some unclear feelings.
At that time, he successfully ascended to the throne, and the queen and empress's mothers made great contributions.
Moreover, the queen's eldest brother, the deceased Lord Zhen Guo, was really a courtier who knew how to advance and retreat.
Not only did his military exploits shine through, but he was also very good at being an official.
It can be said that when Zhen Guo Gong was alive, no one was able to hide his limelight. He was a well-deserved loyal and important minister in the eyes of Emperor Kai Yao, and his confidant humerus.
But even at that time, while Lord Zhen Guo was still alive, Empress Cui wanted to kill Kai Yaodi countless times.
And Emperor Kai Yao had wanted to abolish the queen countless times.
Later, Lord Zhen Guo passed away due to injury. Emperor Kai Yao and Empress Cui were both dug out of their hearts and lacked individuals in their hearts.
The two emperors and queens realized that Zhen Guo Gong was the most important person in their minds.
The same thoughts and the same regrets made the relationship between the emperor and empress barely maintain the face of the former and the indifference of the queen.
To put it bluntly, the deceased Lord Zhen Guo is the cinnabar mole in Kai Yaodi's heart, and will always remain in his heart.
Therefore, after the death of Zhen Guogong for so many years, Emperor Kai Yao did not abolish Empress Cui. The couple played tricks with each other and continued to endure. Empress Cui took the lead to the end of life.
Empress Cui said to Emperor Kai Yao: "Your Majesty, after the death of his concubine..."
"Queen don't talk nonsense." Kai Yaodi interrupted Queen Cui.
Empress Cui shook her head slightly, "Your Majesty, let the concubine finish the sentence. If the concubine does not say it now, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future."
Emperor Kai Yao frowned, "Today is the first day of the new year, the queen should be happy."
"The concubine is happy, but the concubine's body is clear to the concubine. The concubine is exhausted and can't stand it anymore."
Empress Cui generously admitted the fact that she was dying.
While speaking, she watched the reactions of the princes and grandchildren from the corner of her eye.
They all wish this palace died. Queen Cui thought so. When the palace dies, they will have nothing to fear and can jump vigorously in an attempt to pull the prince off the horse.
The prince puffed and knelt on the ground, "Mother Queen..."
Before a word was finished, His Royal Highness was already crying.
Empress Cui looked at His Royal Highness, "The boss is not young anymore, you are a grandfather, how can you still be so uncomfortable. This palace can live to this age, compared with the queens of the past dynasties, it is already extremely blessed. . You don’t have to."
His Royal Highness sobbed softly, distraught.
Empress Cui stopped paying attention to the prince. She continued to say to Emperor Kai Yao: "Your Majesty, the concubines have no other requirements. I just hope that after I die, you can give the prince a chance and don't rush to deny him."
The prince was dumbfounded.
Emperor Kai Yao looked at the prince indifferently, and then said to Empress Cui: "He is our eldest son, and I will give him a chance."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Empress Cui smiled, her expression soft.
She looked at the princes and grandchildren again, "After this palace is gone, I hope that you can be brothers and support the prince sincerely. Although you are not born in this palace, this palace is watching you grow up. You all He is a good boy. Don’t blind your eyes for profit and disregard family affection. The royal family can’t afford to kill again and again."
The princes looked at each other, how to answer these words.
But without worrying about the princes, Emperor Kai Yao helped them out.
Emperor Kai Yao frowned, "What does the queen say about this? Are you to blame me for not teaching my son well?"
Empress Cui looked at Emperor Kai Yao with a smile but a smile, "The concubines hope that your majesty will teach the princes and grandchildren. However, your majesty is busy all day, and I should leave it to you gentlemen to teach the princes and grandchildren."
Emperor Kai Yao coldly snorted, "You just think too much, it used to be like this, now it is still like this when you are old."
"After marrying your majesty, you will have more heart and mind that can't be done all day long. Your majesty must be blamed, don't blame the concubines. The concubines have worked hard for a whole life, and seeing a good life in a few days, your majesty will allow me to be at ease. ."
"I make you feel at ease. What else do you want to do?"
Empress Cui looked at the emperor grandchildren standing behind the prince, "It stands to reason that the emperor grandchildren are the most wealthy people in the world, so every marriage has become a big problem. Liu Zhao, this palace remembers you twenty Come on, why haven't you married yet?"
His Royal Highness King Ning hurriedly stood up and said: "Qi said that Niang Niangzhao'er is weak. It is better to get married later."
Empress Cui snorted and laughed mockingly, "I don't know that Liu Zhao is weak."
Liu Zhao stood out from the crowd, his face was unhealthy and pale.
I don't know if he was originally physically weak, or what he had done to make him look weak.
Liu Zhao bowed and said: "The grandson greets the emperor and grandmother. It is a blessing for the grandson to get the emperor's grandmother to take care of the marriage. When I go back, the grandson will convey the meaning of the emperor and grandmother to the concubine and ask the concubine to give me as soon as possible. Talk about a marriage."
Empress Cui said: "That's too much trouble, it's better to ask your Majesty to point you to a marriage."
Emperor Kai Yao stroked his beard and asked, "Zhao'er, who girl do you have a fancy for?"
Liu Zhao lowered his head, frowned slightly, his eyes flashed with anger.
He knew very well that Empress Cui deliberately targeted him.
Just because of the case he provoked, it hurt the interests of Donggong.
Empress Cui has always kept her grudge in her heart, how could she let him go easily if she seized the opportunity today.
Liu Zhao said unhurriedly: "Grandfather, grandson has an unsympathetic request."
"Say! As long as it is reasonable, I will promise you."
Liu Zhao said loudly: "Please allow the grandfather of the emperor to allow his grandson to choose his own wife."
"Absurd!" Queen Cui scolded angrily, "It's better to show you a marriage in this palace. It's great to see the girls in Luhou's mansion, especially the eldest girl Pei Yun, so it's better to point Pei Yun to Zhao'er. . It can be considered a pro on and pro."
Emperor Kai Yao frowned slightly, and looked at Wang Chaoning and the two fathers and sons Liu Zhao.
Ning Wang was embarrassed: "This, isn't it appropriate?"
Empress Cui smiled contemptuously and said: "What's wrong. King Ning, this palace remembers that your princess is also named Pei, you can marry, why can't Liu Zhao."
This this……
King Ning was speechless, and he couldn't say that Luhou Mansion was a big fan. Just look at the eyes around you, this is just a suggestion, and many people have no good intentions.
If Liu Zhao really married Pei Yun, it would really become an archery target and would not end well.
"Grandson doesn't like it."
When King Ning was embarrassed, Liu Zhao said suddenly.
"Grandson doesn't want to marry Pei Yun. She has a strong temper and has been making trouble since she was a child. Grandson doesn't want to marry her, so she is disciplined every day."
Liu Zhao said frankly.
Huh!
Someone couldn't help laughing.
Emperor Kai Yao also laughed, "Since Zhaoer doesn't like it, then choose another one. But your marriage should be hurry up. I will let the young man go to the palace with the list of young ladies in the capital, you directly choose One. At that time, I will give you a marriage."
Liu Zhao bowed and took the order, "Thank you, grandfather, grandson for complying with the order."
Empress Cui smiled, "My palace is really curious, which girl Liu Zhao would like? He doesn't even like Pei Yun, and I don't know whose girl can be in his eyes. Your Majesty, it's okay anyway. It's better to let the young man's house. Ling will now take the roster and let Liu Zhao choose his wife. Other emperor grandchildren can follow suit. After the election, his Majesty directly decree to give the marriage, how about?"
Kai Yaodi hesitated.
Unexpectedly, King Zhao strongly agreed, "This is a good idea for the empress. The boys in my family have no wives, so let's choose them all."
Emperor Kai Yao looked at the princes and grandchildren, "It is important to choose a wife, but it is not anxious at this time. The courtiers are still waiting, and it must not be delayed for too long. It is better to have a family dinner tomorrow. You should marry. If you marry, you should marry."
Empress Cui stared at Emperor Kai Yao, "Your Majesty, the concubines are running out of time. The concubines want to see the marriage of the emperor and grandchildren settled before closing their eyes. Please, your majesty, please meet the small requirements of the concubines."
Emperor Kai Yao looked at Empress Cui deeply, and finally nodded and agreed, "I will satisfy you. A few days after tomorrow, I will personally preside over this matter."
Even if Emperor Kai Yao knew that Empress Cui was going to make a ghost in the marriage of the emperor's grandson, he would cooperate with each other.
Whoever lets Queen Cui run out of time, young couples and old companions, no matter how many times in the past they wanted to abolish the queen, in the queen's last days, as long as it does not involve the throne, Emperor Kai Yao will try his best to satisfy each other's requirements.
Empress Cui smiled contentedly, "The concubine thanked your majesty. The concubine...cough cough...cough cough..."
Empress Cui coughed uncontrollably, spit out several mouthfuls of blood with a puff.
Everyone was shocked, and even Kai Yaodi's expressions changed slightly.
His Royal Highness panicked, "Mother Queen? Are you all right, Queen Mother. Where's the imperial doctor? Where did the imperial doctor die?"
His Royal Highness was so panicked that he stretched out his hand for Empress Cui to be the blood, making his hands full of blood.
Emperor Kai Yao instructed the servants around him, "Go and call all the people in the Taiyuan Hospital. Ask them if His Royal Highness can't call them, it's not enough for such a long time."
The waiter took the order and left.
Doctor Wang ran in from outside carrying the medicine box.
Queen Cui vomited blood for the second time today.
If this continues, even with tiger wolf medicine, I'm afraid it won't survive for half a month.
Empress Cui lay down weakly, losing her previous aura.
She is now an old lady who is dying of illness. She stared at Doctor Wang and said weakly: "Boldly use the medicine, this palace can hold it."
The doctor Wang understood that Empress Cui asked him to start using tiger and wolf medicine now.
Perhaps Empress Cui also felt the passing of life, far more than previously estimated. She was afraid of death, afraid that death would be worthless. Before was afraid of death, things hadn't been done yet.
Physician Wang nodded, "Weichen gave Niangniang a needle first, it hurts, Niangniang bears it."
Empress Empress laughed, "This palace has suffered all kinds of hardships in this life, and I am not afraid of pain. Just let it go and do it."
Wang Taiyi looked towards Kai Yaodi.
Emperor Kai Yao nodded, "As long as you can keep the empress, whatever you can do."
This is to agree to Wang Tai's medicine for tiger wolves.
The doctor Wang had a strong heart and began to take the needle.
The empress was trembling with pain.
Emperor Kai Yao couldn't bear to watch, but didn't leave. He drove all the princes and grandchildren out of the palace, "You all retreat and go to guard outside the door. The prince stays."
The princes and grandchildren followed the order and withdrew from the bedroom one by one.
They didn't dare to leave, so they stayed in the side hall, waiting for news.
King Ning took the time and whispered to Liu Zhao: "Your marriage can't be delayed any longer. The empress and the empress are looking at you. She will definitely be relieved by watching you make your marriage before... , To be stared at by her, this consequence should be considered."
Liu Zhao nodded, "Father, don't worry, my son knows well."
King Ning frowned, "It's about your marriage, don't take it seriously. In fact, Pei Yun is also pretty good."
Liu Zhao lowered his head and laughed mockingly, "How about letting my third brother marry Pei Yun?"
"This……"
King Ning shook his head slightly, "Forget it. Your own marriage, make up your mind as soon as possible. But this king suggests that you consider it from the honorable family. The daughter of a civil servant, forget it."
"Son understands."
Liu Zhao was noncommittal.
Everyone was waiting in the side hall, and could vaguely hear the groans coming through the sleeping hall.
The princes exchanged glances.
Someone whispered: "The queen is about to die, it won't last long."
The other princes nodded again and again. The queen was in a much worse situation than when we met last time. Anyone with eyes can see that the queen is running out of time.
The imperial doctors of the hospital, all ran up sweating profusely.
On the first day of the first lunar month, except for the imperial physicians on duty, the other imperial physicians are on vacation at home.
Therefore, they came so late.
The imperial physicians filed into the dormitory to diagnose and treat the empress.
The whole palace was suffocatingly quiet, but occasionally could hear the voices of the imperial doctors and the moans of the empresses.
It took a long time for Emperor Kai Yao to walk out of the sleeping hall, looking tired.
His Royal Highness followed behind Kai Yaodi, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously cried.
Emperor Kai Yao left Weiyang Palace in silence, while the princes and grandchildren quietly followed him to the palace banquet.
In Chenghui Hall, the palace banquet began, but the person who presided over the palace banquet was not the empress, but the concubine Xue Guitong, the concubine, and the three empresses.
The wives looked at each other, worried whether the queen was in bad health and an accident occurred.
When he was in Weiyang Palace before, the queen looked bad, and hurriedly ended Chaohe and left.
When everyone took their seats one by one, as expected, I heard Guifei Xue say: "The empress is in her body. Today's palace banquet will be hosted by the two empresses of the palace, Shu and Xian. Don't be restrained, just feel free."
Concubine Xue Gui is not young anymore, but she is well maintained and looks bright when she is in her early thirties.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are more or less old-fashioned.
Other imperial concubines and beauties, young is young, but only the advantage of being young is left.
Compared to the emperor's early sixties, the young imperial concubine was a little embarrassed. Once the emperor passed away, the future of these people would be okay for those with children, but it would be really miserable for those without children.
For the imperial concubines who are accustomed to the prosperous and wealthy life, letting them stay with the ancient Buddha of the blue lantern for the rest of their lives is nothing less than death.
This generation of Mrs. Zhen Guo Gong is the niece of the Queen’s empress. When she heard the empress’s body ill, she hurriedly asked: “Is the empress’s body important?”
Concubine Xue Gui looked at Mrs. Zhen Guogong and sighed, "The body of the empress, hey, the imperial physician of the hospital has passed, and your majesty has also visited the empress. Don't worry, madam, I believe that my body will get better sooner or later."
Mrs. Zhenguo frowned, wishing to leave now and go to Weiyang Palace to visit the empress.
Zhang whispered to the three Gu Jiu, "All are safer, the palace is afraid that the sky is about to change."
When Xie heard this, he shook his hand and almost knocked out the teacup.
Xie's lowered his voice and leaned to Zhang's ear, "Sister-in-law, don't scare me."
Zhang's expression was serious, "How dare I say nonsense like this."
The empress did not attend the palace banquet, and the incident alone has sent enough signals.
Those who understand naturally understand, and those who don't understand are like Xie's, and sooner or later they will understand.
Looking at the hall, everyone's expressions were very relaxed before, but when they heard that the empress was embracing her body, everyone's expressions became serious.
Nowadays, even if they are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, no one wants to eat or drink.
Besides, the food and wine at the palace banquet were not delicious at all, they were all cold.
The palace people treat the palace banquet, as always, careless.
Except for the wine and food for your concubines, which are warm, the wine and food for the concubines are always cold, without the slightest warmth.
