Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Zhao Sansi glanced at the courtiers below, and stood up, "But, I don't like it. Somebody, drag this dancing girl down and drive her out of the palace."

Everyone: "???"

The accident happened so fast that even Cai Jun and Li Zhongxian didn't know how this dancer got into her bad luck.

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." When the guards came in, the dancer seemed to come to her senses. She knelt down and cried, "The emperor atones, the emperor atones... I don't know what I did wrong..."

"I don't know what I did wrong?" Zhao Sansi was very angry, and when he saw this face clearly, he became very angry, "It's just because you have the wrong appearance, it's just that you have the wrong appearance, and you have the wrong birth..."

"The emperor calm down." She was in a hurry, and she spoke very loudly, the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall had long since stopped. Although the officials didn't know what happened suddenly, they all got up and knelt down quickly.

Zhao Sansi remained silent, and for a while there was only the cry of the dancer being dragged out in the hall.

After a while, Lin Wenshu, who was kneeling in the middle, straightened up, and said: "Today, the dancer was presented by the minister, who disturbed the emperor's pleasure, and asked the emperor to make amends, but the minister didn't understand, the dancer today..."

Zhao Sansi squinted his eyes and looked at him. When he saw Lin Wenshu's face clearly, he felt even more angry. The prime minister had analyzed the current political situation for her. The checks and balances between the DPRK and China cannot be eliminated for the time being, but they must be guarded against.

"Master Lin doesn't understand? Then I will let you think about it carefully." Zhao Sansi drank the glass of wine in one gulp, and she wanted to be bolder, "Today, this dancer looks like Xigui... The Gu family in Yunyang Palace has seven It's different, Mr. Lin specially let a dusty woman who looks like the late emperor's favorite concubine to please me and all the officials. Does Mr. Lin think that Gu's entering the cold palace intends to insult you, or is he humiliating the late emperor..."

"Your majesty has clearly checked that I have absolutely no such intentions." Lin Wenshu broke out in a cold sweat from behind and hurriedly kowtowed, "Today's dancer was presented by my subordinates, who said that she has very good dancing skills. That's why... I swear, I never know that this dancer girl and... and Gu's look alike..."

Listening to what they said, Cai Jun looked up at Zhao Sansi calmly, but there was a secret smile on his face.The veil worn by the dancer just now was obviously worn intentionally, and then fell off again, so he guessed that it was instructed by someone.After all, the current little emperor didn't even have a concubine in the past, so if he could send someone he likes to sleep next to him, a lot of things would be easier to deal with when the pillow blows.

Pity.

It's a pity that they didn't know that the little emperor hadn't thought about the replacement of Concubine Xi at all, and he was only thinking about how to bring him out of the cold palace.What's even more pity is that the young emperor's feelings for that noble concubine Xi are complicated. Apart from coveting, he also wants to treat her as his own mother and concubine.

Lin Wenshu probably didn't expect that the little emperor would be so unreasonable today after all the flattery and flattery?As a result, he became like lifting a rock and shooting himself in the foot.

Tsk, as the saying goes, it's really true that it's really a fool's luck to be a fool.

No matter how sincerely Lin Wenshu admitted his mistake, Zhao Sansi didn't want to hear a single word. The imperial concubine was such a noble person in his own mind, how could... the dancing girl was only [-]% like that, but she couldn't do it, she was dressed so coquettishly It's flamboyant, it dances so flirtatiously, and it's for so many people to watch...

Zhao Sansi drank another glass of wine angrily, and became more courageous. He yelled at Cai Jun who was kneeling and was about to strike: "Prime Minister, take this opportunity to read my dictation to all ministers. I want to see it." Look, who will dare to have the idea of ​​disrespecting the concubine in the future."

Although this was an accident, Cai Junshen thought that this was the best time to issue the edict of amnesty for the harem. Hearing this, he immediately complied, and stood up to face the kneeling ministers.

"The first emperor was a wise ruler of a generation. Now that I am enthroned, I am pardoning all the concubines in the late emperor's harem. The abandoned concubines in the cold palace can be released from the cold palace regardless of whether they are wrong or not. Except for having no position, all the practices are given by the nobles. The concubines in the Buddhist hall shut themselves in thought You can be exempted from punishment, and everything else remains the same. Concubines below the rank of concubine do not need to go to guard the tomb or the Buddhist hall. Those who have not entered the Tongshi can choose to stay in the palace to enjoy the old treatment, and they can also receive 1000 taels of silver to marry out of the palace... "

Just like what Cai Jun said, all the officials knew in their hearts that the new emperor came down for the only person in the Leng Palace, but they had to accept this amnesty order.One is that although this amnesty order was made for one person, the concubines in the harem are all beneficiaries, and their shortcomings are protected without trace; the second is that most of these women in the harem come from these families, and are they blood-related daughters? Well, those of them who are fathers, who doesn't want their daughter to have a good life in the future?

As for the faction of the Lin family, now that Zhao Sansi has charged Lin Wenshu with such a serious crime, if he dares to protest, he can only thank him: "Your Majesty is merciful."

Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhao Sansi loosened his clenched hands, "In the future, anyone who dares to neglect the concubines of the late emperor's harem will be severely punished. Lord Lin, it's your first offence, and it's also because you took the lead in replacing them a few days ago. In the matter of my pleading with the late emperor, I will not pursue the mistake made today."

The implication is that I don't owe you any favors.

"The ministers obey the order."

Zhao Sansi's pent-up breath finally went away, raised his hand to get all the officials to stand up, and turned his head to tell Li Zhongxian, "Today is the day I ascend the throne, and now the harem is empty, let the internal affairs hold another banquet, and invite all the late emperor's concubines Come take a seat."

"The slave obeys."

Li Zhongxian took the order to leave, and Zhao Sansi took the lead to take her seat. After all the officials took their seats, she was in a really light mood after solving the important matter on her mind tonight. Poured a glass of fruit wine and waved to Le Si beside her. When the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, she picked up the wine glass and drank it down again. "My dear friends, continue."

On the other side, Gu Xizhao, who had been arranged by Li Zhongxian to wait in Changle Palace, still couldn't believe it at this moment, that little fool really made all the officials agree to her leaving the cold palace.

"Eunuch Mingzhi Palace...the emperor's foundation is not stable now, are you sure she is not going her own way?"

"Your Majesty, please don't worry, the emperor is smart, and the prime minister knows about today's affairs." Li Zhongxian smiled, and he naturally understood what happened in the hall just now, "It's a pity that I am in a hurry, and I have to inform the palaces Niang Niang, you go to the Chun Xing Building in the Hall of Supreme Harmony first, and I will tell you in detail what happened in the hall today."

Gu Xizhao glanced at him, and became more and more curious in her heart, but she didn't stop people from asking more questions, she nodded and said, "Then father-in-law will go to work first, and I will go there right away."

"Okay." Li Zhongxian still treated her like a noble concubine as before, and after bowing and saluting, he took his leave.

After seeing off Li Zhongxian, Gu Xizhao asked Chan'er to help tidy up her appearance before going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen this little fool for a few days, and she was thinking about it.After all, it will not be so easy to climb the window in Chengqian Hall in the future.

Chapter 34

Although the chūn Apricot Tower belongs to the Taihe Palace, in fact there is still some distance between the Taihe Hall, because the chūn Apricot Tower is mainly used to hold banquets for concubines or those who are ordered or ministers’ family members, whether they are concubines or princes and ministers Those female family members who are not allowed to sit in the same palace with those courtiers or princes.

When Gu Xizhao passed by, the empress was already sitting in the first place. I don't know if it was Li Zhongxian's intentional or unintentional arrangement. In short, except for Concubine Yu from Yihua Palace, all other concubines in the palace have basically arrived.

The concubine who used to be a high-ranking concubine is now a concubine who has lost her status. If someone else has such a gap in status, it would be a slap in the face for her to attend this banquet today.

However, Gu Xizhao didn't take it seriously at all. Facing the sizing eyes of these women who were waiting for a good show, she walked up to the queen without squinting. .”

Abandoned concubines in the harem, even if they have lost their position and are ordinary people, they can't call themselves women, but still have to call themselves "slaves". Now that the new emperor has no heir, and he ascends the throne today, he will not have time to meet the former emperor in the future The Queen, for the time being, can only be called the Queen.

"I originally thought that Concubine Xi... oh no, look at Ai's memory, how can there be Concubine Xi in the palace now..." The queen covered the smile on her lips with a handkerchief, and glanced at Gu Xizhao condescendingly , Halfway through the words, the eyes became gloomy again, "You have done such a shameless deed. If I had changed my palace, I am afraid that the three-foot white silk would have committed suicide a long time ago, but I don't want you to be so thick-skinned. Today Why are you so embarrassed to come to this banquet? Do you sisters think that what I said makes sense?"

"What the empress said is very true..." most of the people echoed.

Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, defeated by phoenix, he was worse than chicken, and everyone pushed the wall down, it's human nature, Gu Xizhao was not surprised, and she didn't care about these insignificant people.
