[Empress of the Tang Dynasty] Prosperous Red Makeup

At this moment, the emperor who had just ascended the throne was furious, and was sternly reprimanding the court lady who had done nothing wrong in Queen Webster's bedroom, taking the opportunity to vent his anger.

When the queen saw it, she asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? Is there something bothering you?" She also held a cup of tea and handed it to the emperor gently.

So, Li Xian clung to the Queen's hand, with apology in his eyes, and then annoyed and annoyed, he told her what happened in the early court.

After hearing this, the queen had a look on her face. She was very dissatisfied with the status quo. Her husband had become the most honorable and powerful man in the world. Queen, what's the matter with seeking some benefits for your natal family?

But the queen didn't dare to say that. After all, in this palace, isn't the empress dowager who is the most dissatisfied with her and her husband?The woman who controlled the court and made her husband a puppet.

The empress is a little clever, at the moment when the emperor was still angry, she comforted her gently, and when the emperor calmed down and was secretly provoked by her to express some dissatisfaction with the empress dowager again, she held the emperor's hand, like It's a complaint, and it's like a sigh.

She said: "My lord, you are the emperor. The world is in your hands. You have the right to decide everything. Why are you afraid of the opposition of those ministers? As long as you are determined, what can they do? You see first In the dynasty, when the empress dowager was still the empress, she bestowed on her late father Situ and Duke of the state, her birth mother, Yang, as the wife of the country, and her elder sister was the wife of Korea. To become an empress, not only should she be honored, but also the relatives around her should be honored. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the status of queen? Now that my father has just joined the army and was promoted to a servant, what's wrong?"

In fact, the empress really wanted to say, your empress dowager can ask for glory for her natal family, why is she not allowed to ask for glory for her natal family?Shouldn't the empress dowager go to take care of her to enjoy her old age? What's the matter with running to the front court and the harem to compete with them for power?And if she begs for the dead, she can't be begged for the living?

The emperor also said helplessly: "So what if your complaints are justified, what is the matter with what I say now? Yes, the empress dowager does not go to court, it seems to have handed over the government affairs to me, but which minister In the end, instead of saying 'I don't know what the empress dowager means' or 'Your Majesty, why don't you ask the empress dowager what the empress dowager means', what is the meaning of what the emperor is doing!"

The queen quickly covered his mouth, "Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine for being rude, how can you say such a thing?" She rolled her eyes, thought of a way, and was a little proud, as if she thought she could beat the empress dowager, She said: "The Holy Majesty is not as good as this. Tomorrow morning you will say that you are sick and you will not go to the court, and people will directly read the decree. If you are not in the ministers, no one will object, right? Isn't the empress dowager not going to the court now?"

Li Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, and couldn't help stirring his fingers. He was thinking about whether the queen's idea was feasible. Be an emperor who was evaded by courtiers and dragged by the empress dowager.

He raised his head to look at the queen, and his eyes became firm. He squeezed the queen's hand tightly: "Okay! Let's do it according to the queen's idea. I will let Zhongshu Sheren come over to draft the imperial edict."

The emperor and empress were still acting confidently, thinking that tomorrow they could use some tricks to make the courtiers and the empress dowager subdue, but how did they know that today is their last day in the palace during this period?

That night, the Empress Dowager's Palace was quiet and dark, and all the servants in the hall retreated. The Empress Dowager sat in front of the dressing table with her forehead supported, and her appearance was reflected in the bronze mirror carefully carved by the craftsman. In a trance, he remembered the rusty bronze mirror in the Ye Ting room who did not know how many years ago.

She stroked her smooth skin with her hands, it was just something maintained by secret techniques in the palace, if one looked at it according to her age, now she should be an old man with dry skin and wrinkled face.She looked at those eyes in the mirror, cold, indifferent, mocking, sinister... except that she was not guilty.

Obviously, her third son will finally leave her.She is such a cruel and vicious mother. Her body and mind have been tempered by this hell-like palace, full of blood and darkness. She is a person in the palace and a ruler.

However, she also tried her best to believe in her sons, gave them power, let them ascend to high positions, become princes, and even grow into emperors. This is her responsibility and loyalty to the two emperors who have passed away, for their country offspring.However, whether she lacked the mother-child relationship in this life, her son did not deal with her, and for this reason, he even did something dizzy.

She thought of the son Hong who died in her arms. He was her favorite son. He was handsome, benevolent and wise. He was loved and trusted by her and his father. As a prince, he could learn a lot about government affairs. Then it was a matter of course to ascend to the throne, she sincerely thought about her son.

But she forgot again, forgot that even mother and son have conflicts, which is why she and Hiroshi have a three-foot ice bond.All the education Hiro received seemed to put him on the opposite side of her. Their mother and son eventually had a rift because of their positions and power. She was unwilling but could not stop it, because she was destined to be more than just a mother. Still a power man.

But the memory Hong gave her is also the best, because he left too early after all, and passed away before their conflict broke out completely, and she also knew that Hong loved her mother deeply, so no matter how bad it was Still supporting his frail body, he greeted her, until finally, he still went to the harem, wanting to reconcile with her.

When Hongshi was in her arms, she vividly realized why the heroic emperor in the Taiji Palace was so cruel to her, she clearly understood.

However, after going through Hong and Xian, now Xian, she thought she was numb and cold-hearted, but it turned out to be a little painful, otherwise, why is she having a splitting headache at this moment?Or is this God's punishment for her cruel mother?However, she has come this far anyway.

Obviously, the emperor is not someone who can be impulsive, and some words can't be spoken out angrily.

Through the bronze mirror, the empress dowager seemed to see not only her past and present, but also the life of the young emperor.

The empress dowager just sat in front of the dressing table all night, looking at the woman in the bronze mirror all night, thinking about those who have gone away all night, and also strengthened her heart, as well as her unique loyalty and responsibility.

The graceful palace servants were once again brought in by that woman. They were surprised that the Empress Dowager took a seat in front of the dressing table early, but they didn't dare to show it. Instead, they became more cautious, because they all felt a kind of weirdness and uneasiness in the dark. , as if something big was about to happen.

Only the woman saw the empress dowager's slightly blue eyes and her tightly clenched hands. She asked the maid who was dressing the empress dowager to step down, took the wooden comb to comb the empress dowager's hair, and said softly : "Queen Mother, how good is Wan'er's craftsmanship? Do you feel comfortable?"

The empress dowager quietly raised her eyes. In the bronze mirror, they had a look at each other. When they saw Shangguan Wan'er's bright and clear eyes, the empress dowager saw more from there, and even Wan'er didn't know it. thing.This girl has been by her side for many years, and she knows her heart well, and she is also very fond of her.That's right, there are still people by her side who know... love her dearly.

"Okay, it's comfortable," she said.

The smile on the corner of Wan'er's mouth was even more beautiful, her movements were more gentle, but she lifted the empress dowager's hair high like flowing water, put on accessories for her, and painted a luxurious and delicate makeup.Then, he helped the empress dowager to the Qianyuan Hall, the main hall of the early dynasty today.

The young emperor didn't know that his mother was going to court today. He was walking back and forth in the queen's bedroom with some anxiety and pride. Feeling astonished and helpless, he wanted to laugh out loud, but he felt something stuck in his heart, and his sense of uneasiness became heavier and heavier.

When he saw the palace servants around the empress dowager approaching, his face paled instantly. He seemed to know that he had lost and it was over, so he heard the palace servants say: "My lord, the morning court is coming soon, don't let the empress dowager wait too long." .” He knew that everything was like flowers in a mirror and moon in water, and his complacency was nothing but ridiculous.

On that day, Zhongshu Sheren drafted the edict and reported it to his superiors. Pei Yan knew about it, and the Empress Dowager naturally knew about it.

The emperor went up in a daze.

The officials went to court as usual, which was unexpected and reasonable. They saw the Empress Dowager appearing. Behind her was the emperor with weak feet. More or less sized up Zhongshuling Pei Yan standing in the front.

The empress dowager sat down safely, but the emperor stood there supported by the palace servants. Embarrassment, astonishment, panic, and bewilderment were all displayed by the young emperor. He looked back at his mother in panic, his eyes flashed Begging and grieving, but he didn't see the slightest change in his mother's face, he didn't see any pity, and he felt empty, knowing that he couldn't change his mother's decision.

The emperor watched in panic as Pei Yan took out the imperial edict in front of all the officials, and heard him read the imperial edict in a cold and forceful voice: "...Go to the title of Emperor Li Xian, confer the title of King of Luling, and temporarily live in another palace. "

The guards had already prepared, for fear that the abolished emperor would do something radical, so they came up to "help" him. Li Xian was dumbfounded at this moment, but he had already guessed in his heart, and such complicated feelings were completely gone. Ways to make it clear.He saw the guards coming forward, their faces were hard and indifferent, but why did he see the ridicule and hear the sarcasm?

Li Xian's eyes were red, grievances, resentment, helplessness, etc. all burst out. He grabbed the imperial edict in Pei Yan's hand like crazy, raised it, and shouted at the empress dowager: "Why do you want to abolish me? I am the emperor! I am still the emperor!" Your dear son! Why do you treat me like this?"

The empress dowager only quietly raised those eyes that seemed to see through everything, but without the slightest warmth and love in the past, she said ruthlessly: "Pull it down."

The emperor was discouraged, and the imperial edict in his hand slipped to the ground. It turned out that no matter what he did, he could not get the slightest emotional ups and downs from his mother. He was like an insignificant person. He looked at his mother, trying to see a little bit of emotion from it, but unfortunately, it was probably so far away and the sun was so bright, so he didn't see it, right?Mother, I am your son.

Everything was settled, the empress dowager acted as if nothing had happened just now, only the woman beside her picked up the imperial edict that fell on the ground, put it away, and returned to the empress dowager's side.

And the Empress Dowager's cold eyes shot directly at everyone's body through the curtain, and they felt that cold sweat was breaking out from their backs, waiting for the Empress Dowager's instructions.

This was the most torturous morning court. Waiting for the figure of the empress dowager to leave the hall, everyone let out a long breath and looked at each other, not knowing what to look for.

So next, who will be the emperor?
